Publisher's Synopsis
Written in the epic style of Homer's Odyssey, Honk if You Love Aphrodite is the story of one man's quest to return across modern-day New York City to the woman he adores. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, sends her son to deliver this mortal Stanley from many perils: the trials of life in the subway and the underworld below it; an enchanting Voodoo dancer; a drug dealer whose turf Stanley transgresses; women with fervid desire for his attentions. The greatest obstacle is not the colorful mortals Stanley encounters, or even the gods of the modern world, but rather Stanley's own divided heart. Does he truly want to return to the woman, as he claims? It is the duty of the son of Aphrodite to find out before the dawn. This swift, hilarious adventure sweeps the reader through the city, and ultimately through the many faces of love in our time. It confirms Daniel Evan Weiss as a writer with a profound understanding of the rules of attraction between men and women today.
