Rent Boy

Danny is a rent boy, an architecture student, a waiter, and hot! Working his way through school seemed pretty easy: he serves ego-obsessed writers their cocktails at the Salamagundi Club; he has his toes and other appendages sucked by horny businessmen; and he escorts anyone - male, female, or otherwise - who can afford him. But then his liaison with another rent boy gets him involved with an organ theft ring centering around a crazy old doctor and a crackpot nurse. A relentless stream of social commentary, careening between sex, comedy, and murder. Rent Boy is a hysterical romp through the worlds of contemporary culture and crime.

I love it when people are pessimistic as fuck. 

i was expecting more from this when i read the synopsis, but it was a pretty quick read (only around 100 pages) so it’s fine. 

also surprised it was actually an epistolary novel. it wasn’t stated anywhere in the blurb.

"Danny" should really escape sex work and do what makes him happy. I found the 💩 sexual activity and describing weird and emotionally distressing.

Written as a set of letters to the reader. Great short read

what a twist. not exactly easy or palatable but a heck lot of fun.

An exciting experience that I was very happy to have had. I was expecting the crazy, wild experiences of a Rent Boy which I got. It was really funny and over the top. But then about halfway through the novel takes a turn and becomes an insane crime novel. And it worked so well!! Highly recommend and look forward to reading more Gary Indiana.
