“An unabashed tale that does not pull punches and looks at love’s underside…This breathless story should only be read in one sitting. It hits hard and never lets up. Terse, brusque, etched on one’s inner thigh with an old serrated knife.” —André Aciman, author of Call Me by Your Name
This erotic tale of jealousy, obsession, and revenge is suffused with the rich flavors and intoxicating scents of Israel''s Mediterranean coast
An unnamed narrator writes a letter to an old college friend, Adam, at whose place he has been crashing since his abrupt return to the States from Israel. Now that the narrator is moving on to a new location, he finally reveals the events that led him to Adam''s door, set in motion by a chance encounter with Uzi, an older man with whom the narrator has just had an intense sexual relationship.
From his first meeting with Uzi, the narrator is overwhelmed by an animal attraction that will lead him to derail his life, withdraw from friends and extend his stay in a small town north of Tel AvivAs he becomes increasingly entangled in Uzi''s life—and by extension the lives of Uzi''s ex-wife and children—his passion turns sinister, ultimately threatening all around him.
Written in a circuitous style reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith''s Tom Ripley novels, The Parting Gift is a page-turner and a shrewd exploration of the roles men assume, or are forced to assume.
