It is San Francisco today. San Francisco society has changed since the 70s and 80s, but some things are still the same: people come from all over the country to find spiritual meaning - and to find romance and sex, wherever they may be found.
At the beginning of this delicious new novel, Jackson has just died. What are his friends to do? Daa and Marlowe, two lesbian lovers, decide to celebrate, so they invite their wide, hilariously eccentric circle of friends to a party. Meanwhile Jack, a very heterosexual macrobiotic massage therapist, has his eyes on the new woman in town, Sheba McKenzie, Marlowe's cousin from Indigo Falls, Virginia, who is escaping her constraining life in search of broader horizons. And then there is Dante, the sad, lovable troubadour who doesn't seem to have quite as much success in finding romance as Jack does.
All these wonderfully depicted characters are drawn together in a divinely profane dance of bedhopping, midsummer night's fun, 90s Buddhist meditative rituals, dealing with the folks Back East and, ultimately, love.
