Produktbeschreibung

Michael Blasco is waiting for the train when he spots gym instructor Tony, on whom he has a long term crush. To Michael's amazement, Tony strips then and there on the platform. Michael is even more astonished when Tony suddenly disappears.

Michael, it seems, has the ability to conjure anyone he fancies out of thin air. And they fancy him.

It couldn't happen to a needier guy. Something went wrong in Michael's past, something from which he never recovered. As he tests out the limits of the miracle, Michael calls up Johnny Weismuller, Lawrence of Arabia, Alexander the Great, Picassao, and even his younger self. In the process he gets closer and closer to understanding and overcoming the heart of his own darkness.

"This book isn't ultimately about sex, or lust, but rather about the life that lust creates. And there are some very important themes here: Pornography and power, science and art, animal rights, human rights, slavery, genetics, love, free-will, desire, quantum physics and the possibility of parallel universes."
INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

"Hilarious and deadly serious...First rate. Another gem from this most unconventional writer."
