Description: "Racine is a reserved young man, but his passion for music lights him up inside. He's just returned from Paris where he'd been invited by a friend to produce music, make recordings, and earn a living. The plan didn't quite pan out, and now he's back in New York, where fate, providence, or just plain chance leads him into a squat by a few eccentric loners." "There's Manny, who wears sarongs and has glitter but has not trouble attracting beautiful women, and Couchette, a gorgeous second-generation dancer whose mother has gone to Bali to live and bear a child with a man who built her a house in the midst of a rice paddy. What binds the characters is a deep sense of loss. Each is - like the city they live in - wounded and seeking healing and connection with and through the other housemates."--BOOK JACKET.
