A Season in Delhi

"The reader is taken on a sensual mythical journey into India. What awaits you is a queer poetic experience that is reminiscent of E.M. Forster's A Passage to India, but much more erotic!" -Andrew Rimby, author of Walt Whitman and Queer Theory
"Resonates in the heart. I treasured each page." -Alan Chin, Gay/Lesbian Book Reviews
Set against the dazzling backdrop of modern Delhi, a gay couple's idyllic Indian journey takes a dark turn when a secret infidelity is revealed. Newly-married New Yorkers Brant and Lloyd are enjoying the great beauty and frenetic atmosphere of Delhi until Brant's recent infidelity is revealed to his husband. Left alone in what was supposed to be their honeymoon bungalow, Brant discovers a diary buried in the garden that was written by a diplomat's wife, Carol, who had a torrid, scandalous affair in Delhi in 1950. Brant connects with the 90-year-old Carol first on the page-and eventually, in person-discovering a bond that transcends time and culture.
