Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Former dishwasher Yank Lucas conquers Broadway with his play. At the height of his career, he leaves everything behind, including his lover, retreating to a desolate place to write his next piece. The people he encounters and the women he takes only provide temporary stimulation. It is only upon finishing his play that he realizes why he is "sexually active" yet emotionally impotent, selfish, and insensitive. However, he is unaware of the steep price he must pay for this realization. Set against the backdrop of 1960s New York, the novel offers a glimpse behind the scenes of show business. It thrives on the brilliant portrayal of its extraordinary characters and captivates with vivid depictions of the environment, immersing the reader in the unique atmosphere of Broadway.
