Safe

As much a series of prose poems as it is a novel, "Safe" is a unique triptych of visions of sexual and romantic desire among the Los Angeles "Blank Generation", centering on Mark, a beautiful, proud suburban young man whose passions for drugs and sex hide an impelling self-destructiveness and fear of human companionship. For the men who have come obsessed with him, Mark is more, a symbol of everything their pampered, tolerant lives cannot give them - perhaps Spirit itself.
