HopeGabriel Jones could be your boyfriend, your husband, or even yourself - he's an intelligent, charming, poetry-loving university graduate; he believes in love; he's capable of strong friendships - and he's been seeing a gorgeous high-priced call girl who picked him up in a London cafe. He's also addicted to pornography. In fact, it's his attraction to pornography that causes the collapse of his relationship with the one woman he has ever loved. Why would a young, attractive man, who has found the woman of his dreams, turn to pornography? Glen Duncan's book examines Gabriel Jones's numerous obsessions: love and friendship; behavior he recognizes as both ridiculous and self-destructive; and mortality. |
