Sweet Tooth by Yves Navarre
Into the sooty mouth of New York walks Luc, a French visitor whose life collides with those of Rasky and Lucy in a series of raw encounters as sensual and sensory as the tastes of the city itself. From his disconcerting arrival at Customs to Navarre's incredible ending, here, every step of Luc's odyssey is recounted with detail.
