Description
In Sofia, an American teacher finds himself drawn into a complex and consuming relationship with a young hustler named Mitko. What begins as a transactional encounter evolves into a dangerous entanglement, blurring the lines between desire, predation, and tenderness. As the narrator grapples with his own past and the realities of his new environment, he uncovers unsettling parallels between his southern childhood and the struggles of the foreign country he inhabits. This debut novel is a lyrical and unflinching exploration of love, loss, and the enduring impact of our histories on how we connect with others.
