Though Horace’s story ends in tragedy, the novel also. This evocative, innovative novel examines the binds of inheritance and pain, and includes prophetic visions and demons.

I was 19 when I first had full-on sex with another man. The trouble with a lot of contemporary gay fiction is that a great deal of the stuff that passes for arty gay fiction is extremely narcissistic, highly mannered and self-consciously "exquisite": that would be my problem with most of Edmund White's work and Aciman's "Call Me By Your Name" and Neil Bartlett's "Ready to Catch Him if He Falls." There is an argument that that's part of a Western gay aesthetic (stretching back through Proust and Wilde and Henry James), but I just don't think Edmund White is nearly so smart nor as sympathetic a writer as Proust or James I love Aciman's memoir "out of Egypt" (which is not gay themed), but I found "Call me By Your Name" unbearable There’s a way to burst through the shame gay men are made to feel about homosexuality.
