Robert Glück Jack the Modernist

Produktbeskrivelse

A cult classic now back in print, this novel about sex, obsession, and art is one of the defining works of 1980s gay fiction. A classic of postmodern fiction, Robert Gl?ck's Jack the Modernist portrays the slow disintegration of a love affair set in the early 1980s. Bob is excited and lonely. He meets and pursues the elusive Jack, a director who is able to transform others without altering himself. Bob goes to the baths, gossips on the phone, goes to a bar, thinks about werewolves, has an orgasm, and discovers a number of truths about Jack. Out of print for decades, Gl?ck's paean to desire and obsession explores the everyday in an idiom both intimate and lush. Sensual as well as sensational, self-conscious, but never self-serious, Jack the Modernist is a candid and heartfelt lover's discourse unlike any other.
