Ben retreats slowly from his friends and the bonds of childhood, stealing control of his glittering, mirror-scaled serpent of heart-break. Through his network of nefarious friends, Ben publishes books in collaboration with an erratic pornographer with a penchant for outdoor activities and art. Ben, fresh from Wyoming and falling in love with two men who are deep and intelligent as well as nifty, nearly kills a scholar of international reputation. Green, young lads cannot comprehend the well-known artist who's reluctant to connect with someone healthy and whole.
