This distinguished first novel is the story of a young man's attempt to understand what it means for him to love - to love another man and to love in our post-AIDS society. He knows that his relationship with a lover will be nothing like his parents' marriage. But, by the same token, he has no desire to follow the examples set by his gay friends. Caught between two impossible alternatives - marriage based on emotional dependency and a life of sexual encounters with strangers - he seeks to discover a new way - his own way - with the help of The Blue Lady. Weaving narrative, personal myth and poetry, the final work is a triumph of storytelling that brings the reader to the very heart of the heterogeneous world that defines the gay experience in the 1980's. -- from dust jacket.
