A bleakly funny, ferociously moving series of vignettes chronicling the secret life of a young man--a doorman at the Four Seasons hotel by day, purveyor of Manhattan's erotic underworld by night.
When Alexander Vine finishes his work day, he leaves his post as a doorman at Manhattan's exclusive Four Seasons restaurant -- and enters a nighttime landscape of chance and danger, excitement and reinvention in the city's erotic underworld. Walking a tightrope between sexual desire and self-extinction, Alexander Vine charts his destructive course -- and his struggle for redemption -- with startling, unadorned clarity.
