Summary
1919: Mohammed el Adl, the young Egyptian lover of British author E. M. Forster, spent six months in a jail cell. A century later: Kip Starling has locked himself in his Brooklyn basement study with a pistol and twenty-one gallons of Poland Spring to write Mohammed's story. With a deadline in three weeks, Kim must immerse himself in the mind of Mohammed who, like Kip, is Black, queer, an Other. Both of their lives have been deeply affected by their confrontations with Whiteness, homophobia, their upper crust education, and their white romantic partners. Mohammed's story begins to speak to Kip, and his life becomes a portal into Kip's own memories and psyche. -- adapted from jacket
