With an introduction by Lynne Tillman Physically beautiful and
strangely passive, George Miles attracts his fellow students with a
mysterious promise, like a wallet lying on the street. Closer
follows the links of desire that drag George into the arms of boys
like John, an artist who deliberately drains his portraits of
humanity; Alex, fascinated by splatter films and pornography; and
Steve, an underground entrepreneur who turns his parents' garage
into a nightclub. Two men in their forties, Tom and Philippe, think
they can find reality in the sharp outlines of bones and the bright
red of blood. Obsessed with the beauty of death, they see in George
the perfect object for their passion. Still shocking after more
than two decades, Closer is an unflinchingly provocative
exploration of the limits of experience.
