Beschreibung
A challenging, brutally honest novel from an acclaimed actor
John is an actor. He is a man. A man who wants. A man who needs. A man who takes. And he takes from those who always expect him to give. To give them love, loyalty, affection—to give them his soul and his life. Why can’t they just let him thrive? Why can’t they understand the desires and passions that drive him? Why is he a man alone? John has crossed the line from performance to reality, from stage to street, from imagination to visceral breath—and he needs to take control before all is lost. Steven Berkoff's novel is marked by his luxurious verbosity; his counterpoint of crude street patter and elegiac proclamation; and themes of sex wars, class wars, and dislocation and abandonment of love in a thankless and unyielding world.
