Description

The short stories of Pierz Newton-John move through the full range of masculine experience, with an openness, not afraid to show men at their most lonely, sexual, loving, sometimes vulnerable, sometimes abusive. Tender moments between father and son, first sexual experiences and what men feel and think about women. Plus ca change plus c'est la meme chose...the reader is lulled by the seamless prose, the undercurrent of music, the urbane writing, the suburban settings, but it is all happening behind closed doors.
