Publisher's Synopsis
"The world is little, people are little, human life is little.There is only one big thing - desire." - Willa Cather .......... Because Desire reacquaints readers with characters from other Luke Hartwell titles, also providing sequels for a few, the novel is best read after first having read Hartwell's previous works. The fully-prepared reader first will have read the novels Memory & Madness, Who You Are and Where You Come From, Atom Heart John Beloved, Space, and Love Underneath, and also the short stories "Blue South," "Michael," "Nothing Strikes Back!" "Baby Self Hate," and "Yusuf." The short stories are available individually and also conveniently collected in the volume Four Walls & a Passion. Desire begins with a reunion between Mateo and Cody from Memory & Madness. Hartwell then introduces three new characters, including two young brothers in love. The interchanging relationships between these five characters form the bulk of the story. The book's title reflects the novel's theme.
