Review: Great experiment in her writing

I have been following Memoirs of a Gigolo. male on male does not appeal to me but great writing does, so i follow her work. If you follow Memoirs you will see a very compact style and it really does make the story. Now i read this and i see she has opened up a lot. it is different but every bit as good.I look back on this story and i see the delicate wit and the personalities flowing easily throughout the tale. What i think keeps me coming back is that persistant theme of sexual relationships between the characters who have a background that has been either opulent or overly indulged. Olga for example and now Alejandro are both from wealthy backgrounds and though they have very different and clearly defined attitudes toward sex and relationships they are, in the end at least, equally sordid. its something that will keep you coming back once you get into it. there are no restraints on sexual description but there is an absolute absence of all things tacky and cliche.i dont think you can stop with this type of story and say its a male on male or its erotic. that would be a waste if you let yourself miss out. its just great storytelling
