"Huit nouvelles, pour une large part autobiographiques, sur les thèmes de l'homosexualité, du plaisir, de la solitude, de la lassitude de l'âge mûr et des effets imprévisibles de la maladie. Un recueil plein de finesse, d'ironie, de mélancolie. Roger Charbonney (octobre 1997)."
"The eight stories in this erotic and heartbreaking collection are barometers of difference. They measure the distance between an American expatriate and the Frenchman who tutors him in table manners and rough sex; the gulf between a man dying of AIDS and his uncomprehending relatives."@en
"Eight stories featuring homosexual protagonists. The story, Pyrography, is on the discomfort of a gay boy camping with two straight boys, Running on Empty describes a man's emotions on learning he is HIV-positive, and Palace Days is on the adventures of two American homosexuals in Paris."
