SynopsisA tour-de-force of imaginative literature -- by the winner of the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction and the Ferro-Grumley Award for Best Gay NovelThree millenia old, the story of the Trojan War is one of the benchmark works of the Western canon. The very definition of the word epic, writers -- ancient and modern -- have used it to explain history, define cultures, and explore the varied nature of humanity. Now, Mark Merlis tells the story of Phyrrus, son of Achilles, and the final days of the Trojan War. Having fled small town life, Phyrrus is a hustler and go-go boy in the gay mecca of the City. Prophesied to be the one to take Troy, he is recruited to go to war and redefine himself and his destiny.Against a modern backdrop, Merlis retells an ancient tale to explore the intricacies of modern gay history, identity, and the wall between "gay" and "straight". Compelling and original, An Arrow's Flight is the finest work of one of the most praised contemporary novelists.
