Freak Parade

Eugenia Sharpe! That’s right, she used to be famous. Now she’s on a downward spiral to nowhere as her singing career sputters to an unglamorous halt and the love of her life turns out to be a porn-addicted A-List creep. From a gilded cage on Central Park West to an unending parade of freaks in Lower Manhattan, Genie learns some tough lessons about lust & drugs; her own egomania; the Mafia; and real estate. The freak parade is joined by aging punk rockers, closeted movie stars, young Puerto Rican boys in drag, an all-out orgy of wise guys, and obscure guitar-playing geniuses who are finally coming up out of the basement. As Genie looks for love in the arms of both women and men, it isn’t until she meets Eddie Ramirez – a tough papi who doles out some tough love – that destiny finds Genie once more and, with a vengeance, turns her world back around.

A ‘must-read’ for fans of Lewis’s erotic classic, Neptune & Surf – called “a sensational debut” by The Guardian (UK) and “reminiscent of Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America” by the American Book Review.
