…there’s a difference between having a fate and accepting your fate. There’s a distinct difference too, in being alive as a player of someone else’s game, and having a life that you choose for yourself. A real hero, like Odysseus, never gives in. Homer’s men are like that. They never give in.
The writer of this story is not like Odysseus, he is not a hero; he is a liar, a miscreant lurking in the shadows of the actual life he leads in Sydney, Australia, surrounded by his circle of friends that he has known since high-school, living in a stunning house, paid with by the money from his great job, and maintained by the mother of his daughter.
He is concealing a mammoth, dirty secret…
He is a heterosexual male who has sex with men in exchange for cash. He doesn’t know why he does it, or how he has ended up in this particular place, leading this double life… But he is entrenched in it, consumed completely… he can’t stop it, even though he can barely live with himself any longer.
On an ordinary evening in Kings Cross he allows a client to beat him up with almost fatal consequence. He just lets it happen, so that he can somehow feel alive again. He ends up in hospital, is persuaded to see a counsellor, and discovers that his only hope resides within the words he inks on the pages of his journal, this book, is a dark account of his sexual escapades, lies, drug abuse, and self destruction.
It is also, somehow deep beneath the grime, a love story.

Homer Men edition by E Ashby Literature Fiction eBooks
This was well written. It's not really a m/m romance. It's more about a man who was born into a "middle class, normal" and it's all he knows how to be even though the joblessness of his life is killing him. He doesn't know how to be real with his friends, his girl or his family. But he is very good at spouting the expected dialogue. This all starts to unravel when he is downsized at work. He ends up as a bartender in a gay bar and he starts to respect the gay men around him who have had to discover their own roles as they don't fit the automatic straight role. The story is told in his journal and references art and literature in a way he never speaks out loud to his friends. He wants to break out of his false shell, but he breaks it down in self destructive ways.It is a dark story, more a European ending vs the automatic happily ever after of American stories.Product details
