Finished:
The City of Night by John Rechy
Beauty Sleep by Cameron Dokey
Two very different books but both very enjoyable. I am in two minds whether to keep them, am holding onto them for the moment. Beauty Sleep was one of the better in this series, strong heroine, relatively romantic, happy and unexpected ending.
City of Night was innovative, well written, with descriptive paragraphs that really took my breath away in places. Rich in the 'jivetalk' of the homosexual underground it gives an intriguing look into the alternative nightlife of major American cities as the impatient and unsettled (and unnamed) narrator explores his own character and sexuality. Very good but very dark although there are a few moments of humour which lighten the piece.
