About
New York, Paris, San Francisco – back in their heydays, these cities were outrageously fun for gays and artists. Berlin was the forgotten ghetto, but post-war and post-wall, Berlin has become Europe's queerest city. In Naked Love Berlin, experience the city through the lives of four gay and bisexual men as they learn that the party's only fun when earned.
Kay is a Canadian with a corporate job. He struggles for a fabulous European life, but fabulous and monogamous are uneasy bedfellows. Alex is an American with a trust fund. No responsibility means freedom to hop from one fantasy to the next until family obligation ensnares – or saves. Thomas is a German student from a small town whose confidence swells while studying in the sinful capital. But can he keep this from slipping into arrogance, or even violence? Timothy is a British entrepreneur and drawn to Berlin not for its tax breaks, but for the city's men. How could anything bad ever happen to a man who thinks with his penis – or for this power bottom, prostate? For these men, will their lust for life lead to love?
If you enjoyed such outings as Tales of the City, Queer as Folk, and Cabaret but want a modern edge, you'll love Naked Love Berlin. If you've ever wondered what queer life in Europe could be like, Naked Love Berlin is for you, especially with a glass of bubbly. Prost!
"Touching and raw survey of friendship, love, and sexual exploration in Berlin... Readers will feel deeply for the individual characters as they discover, suffer, grow, and seek their own versions of happy endings."
