Bruiser (High risk)

by RichardHouse (Author)

Synopsis

Elegiac and lyrical, Bruiser is the story of a love between two men wary of emotional commitment. Adrian fends for himself as a waiter, boxer and hustler until he meets Paul, a lonely British expatriate old enough to be his father. Rejecting their lives in Chicago, they embark together on a road trip to Brazil. On the journey, they both find that they cannot abandon the fear of intimacy. Richard House's first novel is a sensual portrayal of lives lived on the margins.

Media Reviews
?Richard House's sad, beautifully crafted novel is a triumph of story telling. His engaging characters leave the reader both astonished and hopeful. Here is an amazing writer.? David Sedaris ?Its dark mood of self-examination, its deathly reticence and its dream-like progression all make for a very intimate and disturbing work of considerable bleak passion. Bruiser is the best gay novel I have read this year.? Independent
