Newly sober and nostalgic for the Weimar days of Isherwood and Auden, Jed arrives in the divided Berlin to chase boys and to escape from what it means to be a black male in America. But history, both personal and political, can't be avoided with time or distance. An intoxicating, provocative novel of appetite, identity, and self-construction and the story of an outsider searching for an obscure home in Europe's brightest and darkest city. Set in Berlin in the early eighties.
