I pass like night

J. Ames

This is the story of Alexander Vine, a young man sliding into self-destruction in New York's erotic underworld. Born 20 years after the war, working as a doorman at the Four Seasons Restaurant, Vine is lost in an urban nightmare. While the bums of the Bowery, where he lives, poison themselves mercilessly with booze, Alexander's path to ruin finds root in his sex instinct gone perverse.
