Description

Daniel Francoeur is a young man uneasily aware of his gay sexuality- a sexuality both nurtured and tormented by his passionate religious feelings. In a bar he meets Harry, a stranger with whom he spends a night of the most intense and compelling erotic exploration and fulfillment. Set against the background of Boston in the Sixties.

Daniel has a one-night stand with a sexy guy and becomes obsessed with him, even though he knows they're in different worlds (and that the trick is way out of Daniel's league in physical terms). The one-night stand is described at length and exceedingly well and has remained fairly vivid to me even

20 years after the first read. I imagine the thin narrative would make more sense if I had read the other books in Plante's Francoeur series.
