Rent Boy (High Risk)

Rent Boy (High Risk)

by Gary Indiana (Author)

Synopsis

Danny is a rent boy, an architecture student, a waiter, and hot! Working his way through school seemed pretty easy; he serves ego-obsessed writers their cocktails at the Emerson Club; he has his toes and other appendages sucked by horny businessmen; and he escorts anyone - male, female, or otherwise - who can afford him. But then his liaison with another rent boy gets him involved with an organ theft ring centering around a crazy old doctor and a crackpot nurse. A relentless stream of social commentary, careening between sex, comedy and murder, Rent Boy is a hysterical romp through the worlds of contemporary culture and crime.

Media Reviews
?Coke is snorted, semen spent, and bood spilled in this urban thriller, which only goes from noir to noirest? Village Voice ?Indiana?s funny, yet deadly serious tale is a scathing commentary on the commodification of every aspect of our lives in the big city. Thinly veiled references to known figures in New York society gives this novel a ring of brutal and hilarious truth? Details ?Indiana ?a swirling, darkly comic prose is a slice of scrambled social commentary in the life of a rent boy / architect / waiter. From appendage sucking to organ theft via champagne and cocaine, the cartoon, hedonistic life is increasingly unseated by a looming morbidity? List (UK)
