Publisher's Synopsis
A high-end, girlfriend-experience prostitute has just returned to her native New York City after more than a decade abroad - in Dubai, with a man she recalls only as the Sheikh - but it's unclear exactly why she's come back. Did things go bad for her? Does she have scores to settle? Regardless, she has quickly made herself at home. She's set up a rotation of clients - all of them in finance - each of whom has different delusions of how he is important to her. And she's also met a man whom she doesn't charge - a damaged former Army Ranger, back from Afghanistan. Her days are strangely orderly: a repetition of dinners, personal grooming, museum exhibitions, sex, Duane Reades (she likes the sushi), cosmology, sex, gallery shows, nightclubs, heroin, sex, and art films (which she finds soothing). She finds the pattern comforting, but does she really believe it's sustainable?
