| Summary: | Founder of The Imitation of Life Players, Julian Young tells the story of his acting troupe's hilarious struggle to assemble an Off-Broadway production of his play. "Whores of Lost Atlantis." Julian writes his play in less than one week, while temping at a Wall Street firm. Getting it produced, on the other hand, proves to be a picaresque adventure with plenty of surprises. Julian's steamy affair with his onetime boss, Don Caspar, is exciting and romantic until Julian realizes there is a dark side to his handsome lover--something that gets Julian and his merry troupe in trouble with the law. The mounting of "Whores" is menaced, leaving the reader feverishly turning pages to see if the show can go on. With razor-sharp wit and outrageous adventures both on and offstage, this is a hip, passionate roman-à-clef.--From publisher description. |
