    About this ebook

    Peter Leroy receives his sexual initiation at the hands of the Glynn twins, becomes a sketch doctor, listens to many tales about the night the Nevsky mansion burned, learns the value of hope, and discovers the love of his life. As is usual with Peter's recollections, we are never certain where memory ends and imagination begins—but we are certain that we are reading the work of a brilliant memoirist who reconstructs his past with wry humor, nostalgia, satire, and dazzling invention. • “A witty and wildly digressive epistemological examination in the form of a childhood reminiscence.” The New Yorker • “Wholly engaging . . . a daring tour de force.” Jonathan Baumbach, The New York Times Book Review • “One of the more hilariously erotic pieces of writing since Lolita.” Edward Hannibal, The East Hampton Star
