Don Juan in the Village (Masks)

Don Juan in the Village (Masks)

by JaneDelynn (Author)

Synopsis

The nameless heroine of Don Juan in the Village goes to many places - from the lesbian bars of New York to the back streets of Fez and the calm ocean depths of a Caribbean island and through many moods - the exhilaration of sex, the obsession of narcissism and the enforced sobriety of the AIDS years. DeLynn has ceated a memorable character whose identity is more than the sum of the bars she has cruised and the women she has fucked. Usurping and enriching a male myth, she comes to an acute understanding of what it is to see oneself as an individual.
