From National Book Award-honored author Edmund White, a wildly
hilarious and irreverent novel about a rich older man who falls in
love with a young ballerino. Aldwych West, an eighty-year-old
modern-day aristocrat living alone in his Manhattan townhouse, is used
to having what he wants. And when he sets eyes on August Dupond, a
strong, stunningly beautiful soloist in the New York City Ballet, he
decides he must have him. Soon they strike up a closeness that falls
between the blurry lines of friendship, sponsorship, and love, and
August moves in with Aldwych. But eventually August starts bringing
home other men, and a formidable woman in Aldwych's circle named
Ernestine also takes a deep interest in the young, enchanting star.
Messy entanglements and fierce rivalries ensue, and the result is an
unforgettable, outrageous tragicomedy that explores the many layers of
love and sexual desire as only Edmund White can.
