Birth of Eros

Los Angeles 1951-1953. A vicious rape, revenge gone awry, and American consumerism collide the first novel of a projected 4-book mytho-lyric. Lucy is born gifted and burdened with an "unsightly" right eye that sees far beyond the visible spectrum, lending her an uncanny view of events, things and people, including the dead. Her father is famous as an obscenely well-endowed men's underwear model; her mother is famous as a sexy teenager modeling luxury automobiles-until wicked L.A. car dealer Mr. Wolf cons her into posing for increasingly explicit pinups. In language both wildly lyrical and transgressive, Lucy recounts the story of her "not smart" parents and Big Bad Wolf who becomes the catalyst for her conception and eventual calamity.
