I Pass Like Night (Contemporary Classics (Washington Square Press))

When Alexander Vine finishes his work day, he leaves his post as a doorman at Manhattan's exclusive Four Seasons restaurant - and enters a nighttime landscape of chance and danger, excitement and reinvention in the city's erotic underworld. Walking a tightrope between sexual desire and self-extinction, Alexander Vine charts his destructive course - and his struggle for redemption - with startling, unadorned clarity.
