    Summary

    Daniel sees life like a river. Thinks he is caught up in a current that only goes one way, that will eventually sweep him out to sea. It’s easier for him to think so. It keeps him alive to think so.

     

    He doesn’t know that he could stand up and reach the bottom. He doesn’t know he has a choice.


    Drugs don’t work, sex doesn’t work, New York hasn’t worked. Somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, an improbable number of suicides have taken place. Somewhere in a bar in New York, Daniel hears about them. He wants to fill a void. The difference between what is real and what isn’t matters as little to him as the things he’ll find to throw into the darkness. Which, as it turns out, is quite a lot.

    Summary

    Armand walks in still covered in plaster, still wide eyed and looking shaken. He moves slowly, like he’s the one who should be careful towards the intruder in his house.

    “You are still here.”

    Daniel hums. “Sure am.”

    Summary

    Armand had felt it instantly — the spike of panic, followed by the creeping weight of nihilistic dread. He feels it everywhere nowadays. The 1980s are a decade of scared young things, terrified the comfort they seek will kill them, of fear and dread and paranoia. It reminds him of Venice, and the crawling rot of plague, the suspicious glances between neighbours as they'd snapped their shutters closed.

    He feels it now in Daniel.

    Summary

    Armand sucks in a breath. “What did I tell you yesterday about not asking questions?”
    Yesterday ?” Daniel could laugh. “We made out last night! You jacked me off! I came in your fucking hand, man, and I’ve gotten you this far. What do I have to do to make you trust me ?”



    A bloody American summer in the belly of the AIDS crisis.
