    <body><![CDATA[this is by far my favorite Baldwin novel.  The setting, the characters... and of course, the eroticism and betrayal.  Baldwin writes lyrically as usual, but there is something daring and haunting about this story in particular.  It is a quick read, one where time evaporates until your fingers flip to the final page before the book flutters upon your chest, finished, yet still throbbing throbbing in your mind.]]></body>
