Whether the setting is southernItaly, where as a boy he has a crush on his parents' cabinetmaker, or a snowbound campus in NewEngland, where his enduring passion for a girl he'll meet again and again over the years is punctuatedby anonymous encounters with men; whether he's on a tennis court in Central Park, or on a New York sidewalk in early spring, his attachments are ungraspable, transient, and forever underwritten by raw desire—not for just one person's body but, inevitably, for someone else's as well.In Enigma Variations, Aciman maps the most inscrutable corners of passion, proving to be an unsparingreader of the human psyche and a master stylist.

Delilah Devlin, Andrea Dale, R. G. Emanuelle, Cheyenne Blue, and all the other contributors offer their own sizzling visions of the...
