a devastating, beautiful, and ultimately tragic look at one man's struggle with his intense internalized homophobia and his affair with another man in 1950s Paris. David is a deeply unlikeable main character who is unable to come to terms with himself (to the detriment of those around him). no one comes out a winner here, and it would be unrealistic if they did. in weird ways, this book made me feel similar to how Stoner by John Williams made me feel -- simultaneously disgusted, heartbroken, and empty.
