Skyline

Autor William Fowkes
en Limba Engleză Paperback
In SKYLINE: TALES OF MANHATTAN, award-winning playwright and author William Ivor Fowkes presents 19 stories of New Yorkers (gay, straight, and confused) making startling connections and discoveries-proving once again that Manhattan's residents are just as striking as the city's celebrated skyline.

Two worlds collide when a reclusive resident of New York's most fabled apartment building cruises for sex on the Internet. "The Century." A man finally tells his therapist what's really on his mind. "Headlines." A man's furtive sex life lands him on the front page of The New York Post. "Lincoln Towers." An aging resident of the Upper West Side's "city within a city" finds life increasingly mystifying. "Ashes." A man stumbles into the wrong funeral, but makes an unexpected connection with the deceased. "The Haircut." A man approaching his 60th birthday tries a new haircut, with disastrous consequences.
