– Claire, Amazon review
A gay Texan in Saint-Tropez, France falls in love with a married Arab man. What could possibly go wrong?

Luther’s destiny takes him from rural Texas to the French Riviera to exotic Tunisia before returning him home a victim of the Arab Spring, in this hilarious novel exploring the conflict between tradition and modernity and confrontation with change.

His story begins in Claytoncobb, Texas, population 1,643, where Luther struggles with his bigoted family and repressed homosexuality. He manages to escape by heading to college and is seduced by Richard, an older French man.

Luther joins Richard and lives glamorously amid the world of French antiques in Saint-Tropez before falling in love with Abdel, a married Tunisian man who introduces him to the dynamism and diversity of the Islamic world—a world that spins his head around and ultimately spits him out.
