Présentation de l'éditeur
Young ex-art student Eddie has abandoned his course, his family, his lover and his friends to follow a male escort into a world of sex, drugs and unrequited love. Now that he is beginning a tentative romance with an old friend, he will have to face the challenge of being honest about what he's doing in the weird hours he works; and the lengths he's willing to go to try to please everyone around him.
Revue de presse
"An intelligent and surprisingly romantic coming-of-age story that deals with gay culture, sex workers, art and just trying to make love work. Different, thought-provoking and could lead you into giving animal characteristics to all your friends." --Bent
"Though Hardiman's graphic novel examines a specific underground culture, the questions it asks and the feelings it explores are universal." --Lambda Literary Journal
'Hardiman approaches the comic with a finesse and sensitivity that belies the apparently niche topic... it has a powerful ring of truth to it, a work of originality, honesty and emotion, and a fascinating look into a world hiding in plain sight.'
Digital Spy
"...a dark, sobering but rewarding read. Howard Hardiman has marked his territory and will be a talent to watch grow into a pedigree storyteller." --
