About This Book

An unnamed narrator travels through the urban underworlds of major American cities while working as a male hustler. The novel uses a stream-of-consciousness style to document the lives of those on the fringes of society in the early 1960s. It explores the pursuit of self-knowledge and human connection within a clandestine subculture.
