King of Cats: A Life in Five Novellas (2004)
What makes a person fascinating? Is it what they hide or
what they reveal? Is it who they are or who they appear to be?
A struggling filmmaker believes he recognizes the
face of a man in an old painting and becomes obsessed with finding him.
On the cusp of his band's success, a closeted guitarist walks out on his
longtime male lover to live with a woman he hardly knows. After spending
one fateful night in bed together, two youthful musicians enter into a
bitter and emotionally devastating power struggle for control over their
band and one another. And eight years later, tragedy forces both men to
confront the inescapable and bitter legacy of their fathers' influence.
Peopled with vivid characters and told in sharp
dialogue, the five stories that comprise King of Cats tell the
provocative, sometimes heartbreaking story of luminous, enigmatic rock
star Jimmy 'Strange' Lyons. Weaving back and forth through time, from a
tenement in Alphabet City to a luxury co-op overlooking Central Park to
a semi-detached in North London, Jimmy's life unfolds like a mystery,
gradually revealing his secrets and exposing the vast gulf that often
lies between what appears to be and what is.
