Set in 1983, before the onset of AIDS changed the gay lifestyle, the novel is a celebration of sexual liberation and human diversity in London. Sexual potential lingers behind many of the city spaces that the book's first person narrator, Will, describes, from Hyde Park to the Russell Square Hotel. It is a richly descriptive and often comic work.
