Isler's second novel. 1994 National Jewish Book Award winner and finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for his first novel, The Prince of West End Avenue. A sex-romp set in a Bronx College transmogrifying into a rueful attempt at confronting familial ghosts and slaying personal demons in the Yorkshire countryside with a fleeting stopover in swinging 1960's London where our hero finds momentary solace in the arms of Sausalito stripper Candy Peaches. "[A] genuinely gifted comic writer." –Jonathan Yardley, Wahsington Post
