Opis

Blowdown is the story of a man's reluctant journey guided by the mutual love and respect for his ninety-five year old grandmother. William, an attractive middle aged gay man and post-AIDS era survivor, travels from Vancouver, British Columbia to Palm Springs, California, to visit his dying grandmother. He is both unaware and unwilling to participate in the introspective voyage she has planned for him as her last hurrah. Her surprise confession of a decades-old family secret leads to her own unexpected redemption and endows her with the authority to issue increasingly extreme and bizarre challenges designed to liberate William. Through this remarkable relationship and because of other quirky characters that he encounters along the way, William is forced to take a startling look at the demons that have haunted him for many years. Blowdown, with its subtle plot and fascinating characters, paints the picture of a man dealing with the pain of loss, and the surprising conclusion that results as his hiding places are stripped away. Blowdown is not only a must-read for the GLBT community, it is a novel that is important to anyone who has experienced loss and self doubt.
