When Cordell Carmel catches his longtime girlfriend with another man, his world is upended. Suddenly, the normally calm life of this middle-aged New York City translator becomes something unrecognizable. With the boundaries of his routine existence dissolved, he begins a dark, funny, and outrageously explicit sexual odyssey in search of a new way of life. Along the way, he encounters a mysterious woman named Sisypha, who leads him deep into the erotic heart of the city.
'Killing Johnny Fry' is something altogether new and provocative from a writer already celebrated for his more than thirty books of mystery, literary fiction, science fiction, and political writing. Above all, it is about a man questioning the rules we take for granted - and the powerful and sometimes disturbing connections that can occur between people when these rules are removed.
