Set in the winter of 1979/1980, The Corner of the Moon follows
Scott Malone, a prominent Houston film critic, through his
first-person narrative about his love for another bisexual man who
is involved with a beautiful woman, all the while feeling compelled
to defend his quest to his former, once-married lover who still
adores him, his beautiful ex-wife who believes he's wasting his
time, and to his old, now-gay friend who thinks Scott is a romantic
idiot. A complex examination of a lifestyle neither straight nor
totally gay, Scott's poignant, character-driven narrative assaults
the contemporary stereotypes of a culture more feared than
understood. The story takes place during Christmas and New Year's
in penthouses overlooking the dynamic Houston skyline, in the
elegance of Memorial Drive, and in the late-night jazz scene that
colors Scott's life. When the Super Bowl of the century between
Houston and Dallas draws everyone to New Orleans, the truth inherit
in that old city, and at an old plantation on the River Road,
leaves little room for pretense in a passionate gumbo of honesty
and revelation.
