Love Me Tender

Viac o knihe

Lulu, the heroine of this urgent novel, is a young French dancer who works in a downtown strip joint, the Blue Night Lounge. She inhabits a New York world where new, uncompromising styles of love, art, and experience are being born. Lulu wends her way from Julian, a junkie poet, to Henry, a wealthy, priapic Tribeca painter, to the local Puerto Rican boy, Mario. She shares her memories of a confused childhood in France with an older French woman and casts a cool yet passionately observant eye on her adopted city. Written with immediacy and raw intensity, LOVE ME TENDER is an authentic, sometimes shocking, always original slice of urban life, by an author with talent to burn.
