London Triptych by Jonathan Kemp
Three men, three lives and three eras sinuously entwine in a dark startling and unsettling narrative of sex, exploitation and dependence set against London's strangely constant gay underworld. Rent boys, models, aristocrats, artists and gangsters populate this bold debut novel as the lives and loves of three men interweave in three distinct and pertinent historical periods.
