Description
Fiction. LGBT Studies. Jewish Studies. How does a straight American soldier with a girl back home return from a tour of duty in Iceland with The Works of Oscar Wilde as his most cherished souvenir? The answer is a cosmopolitan tale of love, friendship, and the influence of life upon life set in pre-Stonewall World War II, transcending boundaries of gay and straight, Jew and gentile, and illustrating the Wildean dictum "to reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim."
