"Profoundly sad, elegant and insightful. . . . Holleran's trademark
prose--lush, carefully cadenced and keenly observed--creates a
mesmerizingly claustrophobic world."--Publishers Weekly Andrew
Holleran's classic novel of loneliness, obsessive desire,
unfulfilled dreams, and the loss of youth, set in the mid-1990s
amid the ravaging AIDS crisis. Forty-seven, gay, and alone, Lark
leaves behind his youth and dreams in New York City to care for his
dying mother in Florida. Mourning the passing of his glamorous
younger self to time and the lives of friends and acquaintances to
AIDS, he looks back on his past, to years spent in pursuit of
hedonistic pleasures. Middle-aged, gray, and now seemingly
invisible to the world around him, Lark has survived while those
around him have all been taken. Left with nothing but his memories,
he is forced to contemplate the cruel emptiness and bitter
loneliness of his life while longing for a stunningly handsome man,
who haunts is days and dreams. Gorgeous and haunting, Andrew
Holleran's heartbreaking novel is beyond its time; a study of the
human condition and our yearning for meaning, purpose, and love in
a cold and capricious world.
