The kingdom of sand : a novel

Holleran, Andrew (author.).

Summary: A nameless narrator has survived the death of his friends to AIDS and the loss of his parents to old age and tragedy. Semi-anonymous sexual encounters, gallows humour, and classic films are his tools for staving off the dying of the light. In prose that's in turn mordantly funny and hauntingly elegiac - a reverie to sex but also a stunningly honest exploration of loneliness and the endless need for human connection, especially as we count down our days.
