Beschreibung

<p>'An exquisitely written investigation of desire and shame' <i>Guardian</i><br>'A rich, important debut, an instant classic to be savored by all lovers of serious fiction' <i>New York Times Book Review</i><br>On an unseasonably warm autumn day, an American teacher enters a public bathroom beneath Sofia's National Palace of Culture. There he meets Mitko, a charismatic young hustler, and pays him for sex. He returns to Mitko again and again over the next few months, their relationship growing increasingly intimate and unnerving.<br>As he struggles to reconcile his longing with the anguish it creates, he's forced to grapple with his own fraught history: his formative experiences of love, his painful rejection by family and friends, and the difficulty of growing up as a gay man in southern America in the 1990s. <br>Startlingly erotic and immensely powerful, <i>What Belongs to You tells</i> an unforgettable story about the ways our pasts and cultures, our scars and shames can shape who we are and determine how we love.</p><p>'This astonishing debut novel's portrait of compromised lust holds its own against classics like <i>Lolita</i>' <i>Sunday Telegraph</i><br>'Greenwell's novel impresses for many reasons, not least of which is how perfectly it fulfils its intentions' James Wood, <i>New Yorker</i></p>
