Lyric and tender one moment, cruel and dizzying the next, this literary tour de force neither celebrates perversity nor laments it, rather it projects it as part of man's impossible quest for a true self. In 49 brief, highly cinematic chapters, we meet a series of twisted but sincere searchers, each in their own flight from despair.
