description: Written in the epic style of Homer, Honk If You Love Aphrodite is a modern-day tale of one man's odyssey across New York City to the woman he adores. Aphrodite, goddess of love, sends her son to deliver this mortal Stanley Short-Sleeves from many perils; the treacherous subway and underworld below it; a bewitching Voodoo dancer; a drug dealer whose turf Stanley trangresses; and strange women unaccountably besotted with him. However, the greatest obstacle is not the colorful mortals Stanley encounters, or even the gods of the modern world, but rather Stanley's own divided heart. Does he truly want to return to the woman, as he claims? It is the duty of the son of Aphrodite to find out before the dawn. This swift, hilarious adventure sweeps the reader through the city, and ultimately through the many faces of love in our time.
