Opis

"Mark liked to think he embraced the Buddhist concept of impermanence, but he wished it would leave his actual life well enough alone. Instead, everything was about to change. "

Second chances are hard to come by in Gerry Pirani's poignant new novel, "The Search for Intelligent Life on Earth: A Story of Love," an Award-Winning Finalist in the Fiction: LGBTQ category of the 2014 USA Best Book Awards.

While visiting his estranged father in Europe, nineteen-year-old Mark meets Jacques, a young Parisian socialite who performs as a drag queen. Mark is immediately conflicted by the attraction and flees Europe. When Jacques telephones to tell him that their English friend, John, has attempted suicide, Mark accompanies Jacques to England and finds himself falling in love.

As John struggles with his manic-depression, Mark and Jacques begin an explosive affair that threatens to engulf them both.

When Mark's violent temper erupts, he goes to his Native American grandmother in the Plains, where he works with a shaman and discovers things about himself he never knew were possible.

Eventually Mark and Jacques meet up again in London. While their passion is instantly rekindled, Jacques now hesitates to trust his heart. Can people really change?

For readers 18 and over.
