Phil starts out working in a hotel at Glacier National Park. Next, he’s a bell-hop at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. The chapters of the book read as independent short stories connected by the peripatetic Phil as he makes his way around the country. There’s a story about a guy who gets off by bringing his motorcycle into his hotel room. And a shoe-maker with a foot fetish. By Chapter 5, Phil has made his way to Dallas. He meets a guy named Ace Hardest and his story overlaps with the Kennedy Assassination. I love the audacity of including one of the most important moments in the political history of the nation within a pronographic short story! Chapter 6, Phil is in Chicago. Chapter 7, he’s in Milwaukee. Chapters 8, 9, 10 and 11, he’s back in Chicago. He meets a couple in a secret interracial relationship. He nearly falls in love with a young guy, Kenny, but extricates himself from the relationship, ruinous to a hustler, by turning the kid into a hustler himself. The final chapter, 12, takes place in New York City where he gets involved with a black and white couple in a master/slave relationship where the white “slave” eventually takes a drug to turn his skin black.
