Martin and John

Dale Peck&#146;s debut is a tour de force in which Martin and John find each other again and again: in a trailer park a high-end jewelry store a Kansas barn and later in New York City living under the shadow of the AIDS epidemic. Though their names remain the same their identities are constantly shifting creating a fractured view of loss and desire in the early years of the AIDS crisis. Vaulting through self and history <br><br><i>Martin and John</i> is one of the most remarkable novels to emerge from an America ravaged by disease and one of the finest and most complex love stories of the &#146;90s. Martin and John is the first volume of Gospel Harmonies a series of seven stand-alone books (four have been written) which follow the character of John as he attempts to navigate the uneasy relationship between the self and the postmodern world.
