Description

City of Night is a groundbreaking novel that boldly explores the world of male prostitution in 1960s America. With unflinching candour, John Rechy delivers a vivid portrait of a young man's search for self-knowledge among the denizens of his neon-lit world.

The narrator's journey takes him from Texas to Times Square and eventually to New Orleans' French Quarter, where he encounters a cast of unforgettable characters, each with their own stories of desire and guilt. Rechy's prose is highly personal and descriptive, painting a picture of the edges of America that remains powerful today.
