A novel in verse on a homosexual romance between two boys. Geryon "understood / that people need / acts of attention from one another, does it really matter which acts? / He was fourteen. / 'Sex is a way of getting to know someone,' / Herakles had said. He was sixteen." There is a strong mixture of whimsy and sadness in Geryon's story. He is tormented as a boy by his brother, escapes to a parallel world of photography, and falls in love with Herakles--a golden young man who leaves Geryon at the peak of infatuation. Geryon retreats ever further into the world created by his camera, until that glass house is suddenly and irrevocably shattered by Herakles' return. Running throughout is Geryon's fascination with his wings, the color red, and the fantastic accident of who he is.

Six Stars submitted by marcyes1 on July 17, 2023, 8:24pm Oh my gosh I am so obsessed with this book. It is a novel in verse, meaning it’s a continuous story written with especially poetic language and feeling. This is a great book for anyone who’s having a hard time getting back into reading (me)! Not difficult to read but emotional and beautiful.
