Title: The Family of Max Desir
Description: Max Desir loved his Italian-American family--even after his iron-willed father exiled him from its intimate inner circle. Max Desir loved his lover, Nick, with whom he openly took up life first amid the enchantment of Rome, then amid the realities of New York. Two loves so deeply felt--in a man so painfully divided.
