Overview: “AN EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENT!”
—Montreal Gazette
York Mackenzie is a man hungry in mind and body for self-liberation. Leaving behind his lover, John, and a past that included marriage and a forced separation from his beloved son, York flees to the heat of Morocco—and is swept into the press of warm bodies in the streets of Marrakesh, drawn to the boys dressed like birds of paradise. But it is the joyous and uninhibited Kebir who leads York into a world whirling with color, movement, deep pleasures, and fevered interludes. Dreams, fantasies, and realities soon become indistinguishable . . . his seductive odyssey takes him into an increasingly dangerous territory of flesh and soul . . . a hilarious motor trip with two British gays and a fateful decision to accompany a tantalizing stranger into a remote walled Kasbah leave York ready to make his life-wrenching choice. This rich, wildly exuberant epic of Eros regained is a feast for the senses, an evocation of ecstasy, an interweaving of emotions. HELMET OF FLESH is a grand achievement by an important literary voice, a must-read novel.
