When narrator Julian Harcourt, on his way to the Met Opera, is knocked down by a taxi in front of Lincoln Center, he has no expectation that a handsome young man-a tenor-will help him up. But Stuart Kreisler happens to be right there. And then they both have to decide if a friendship will follow. Will Julian be swept off his feet-figuratively, this time? Or does the universe have quite different plans for them both?Julian is living a good life, isn't he? He has a career and an apartment he adores. He has loving relationships: Christina Grimaldi and Rebecca Cathcart are not just fine singers but devoted friends. Julian also has pretty much all the sex he can handle. And then he meets Michael Fernandez, and then everything begins to change. Everything but Julian's heart-until a phone call from his ex, baritone Benjamin Hickock, upends all his tidy notions of where his life is headed.
In order to find a path to the future, Julian must work his way through the most painful losses of his childhood and his youth. He has to confront the memories that have enslaved his heart for more than a decade. And he must learn to make choices that bring him freedom and joy. OPERA OBSESSED is about coming to terms with the past and facing the realities of the present. Readers of the Love Trilogy and the first volumes of Tolerance and Obsession will welcome Bruce K Beck's honest and irreverent voice. And all readers will find Julian's story warm, funny, erotic, lyrical, moving, and richly satisfying.
