Provincetown, Cape Cod: the last outpost of civilisation, the end of the earth. In the confused aftermath of a failed suicide attempt, Leonard English – pursuing a vague vision of redemption and an even vaguer offer of employment – finds himself in a Cape resort populated by religious zealots and promiscuous transvestites. Taking a position as a part-time disc jockey-cum-private investigator, he falls hopelessly in love with a beautiful young gay woman. As winter approaches Leonard’s anguish mounts, his search for an elusive artist proves as futile as his desire and his growing obsessions lead to a tragic discovery and unexpected personal satisfaction.
Denis Johnson (1949-2017) was the author of The Name of the World, Seek, Jesus' Son and The Resusciation of a Hanged Man.
