A wonderfully funny, yet tender evocation of the hedonistic 1980s.
A young British man comes to 1980s Paris to teach English and to taste the erotic life that has eluded him in Britain. He's gay, most the teachers at the school are gay - and he suddenly finds himself in the midst of a sexual free-for-all beyond his wildest dreams - and then the AIDS epidemic hits.
A beautifully, profane and witty novel from one of the masters of the form.
