Description
Ron Nyswaner, Academy Award-nominated scriptwriter of Philadelphia, delivers a beautiful and very honest memoir on the devastating effect of passionate love. On a trip to Los Angeles, Ron meets and falls for world-weary Johann, a Latin-quoting, leather-clad hustler from Germany. In the next year, Johann will teach him many things: how to make a crack pipe out of a soda can, how to lose onself utterly in passion, how to come down from a crystal binge, and how to keep living when everything you've been living for is gone.

LibraryThing member Rob.Larson
Very dark subject matter, but the writer has talent, so at least it was a quick read. Very adult subject matter.
