Opera Obsessed - Paperback

by Bruce K. Beck (Author)

When narrator Julian Harcourt, on his way to the Met Opera, is knocked down by a taxi in front of Lincoln Center, he has no expectation that a handsome young man--a tenor--will help him up. But Stuart Kreisler happens to be right there. And then they both have to decide if a friendship will follow. Will Julian be swept off his feet--figuratively, this time? Or does the universe have quite different plans?

Julian is living a good life, isn't he? He has a career and an apartment he adores. He has loving relationships: Christina Grimaldi and Rebecca Cathcart are not just fine singers but devoted friends. Julian also has pretty much all the sex he can handle. And then he meets Michael Fernandez, and then everything begins to change.

OPERA OBSESSED is about coming to terms with the past and facing the realities of the present. Julian must work his way through the most painful losses of his childhood and his youth in order to find a path to the future. Readers will find his story warm, funny, erotic, moving, and richly satisfying.
