Description

At the center of the novel is Kenneth, one of the many unemployed actors in New York City, who, to compensate for his isolation from family and community, fills his empty hours with elaborate fantasies. In Central Park he creates dramatic tales of repressed desire for the people he watches; on city streets, he and his soap opera star boyfriend, Evan, play intricately choreographed erotic games; at home, Kenneth imagines apocalyptic episodes of Bewitched.
