Summary

A Queer Classic re-published for the first time in 27 years, by the author of The Romanian, winner of the Prix de France.

A New York City hustler with a special gift for reeling in customers, Apollo, "a pale skinned mulatto with a mournful mouth" strips at a gay sex theater in Times Square. He is one of the most seductive and disturbing creations in recent American fiction.

Unflinchingly describing the lives of hustlers, pimps, drug-addicts and transsexuals in 1990s Times Square, User speaks with the authentic voice of characters from the edge. This is a world filled with stark, hypnotic eroticism and mined with terrors peculiar to the subterranean city in the hours after midnight.
