Description
A New York summer so hot the air is turning yellow. Kate, a young woman newly arrived from London, is determined to become the kind of person who is up for it and down for it - and not remotely troubled over how those two semantically opposed phrases could have come to mean the same thing. In the sweltering city, she encounters Bill, a once-lauded now booze-sodden novelist, and Inez, his teenage daughter who makes extra cash catering to the sexual fantasies of men she has met online - and falls into a complex infatuation with them both. Smart, shimmering prose glints with insights into the strange dynamics at work in sex and desire. This novel is a vibrant rush of a summer's night, full of pocketable images and observations that will keep you transfixed until the end.
