Rating:
Summary: "Bad Night"
Review: After reading this story you either like Walt Curtis or you don't. Walt, a gay man, runs a grocery store in Portland, where he has contact with poor Latino teenagers. His relationship first with Johnny and then Raul, are on the borderline of obsession, if not true obsession. The whole book centers around Walt trying to gain their love and having sexual relations with these young men. At times it's hard to take. You hear yourself asking, "doesn't he had any other interest in life" other than these boys.

Although this is a taboo subject matter, Walt is a gifted writer who speaks very honestly and from the heart. It's a fascinating story of skid row life in Portland, Oregon. Its easy to get lost in these characters lives. You'll be anxious to read the book right through to the end. Its gets my recommendation for these reasons.
