Exceptional!!! By far the best fiction novel by WJM I've read (my fourth) - a depature in plot/style - Mr. Mann creates an amazing world transversing over 20 years - and yet, switches between the decades in such a way that each decade could stand on it's own; I LOVED this novel, in many ways seeing myself, especially dealing with aging, past and present. The last 100 pages will is a roller-coaster ride of emotions as the protagonist, Danny, must look more inward, blaming less of those around him - and finally, coming to terms with a tragic cirumstance that happened in his family more than 25 years before; if you love great gay fiction, you'll absolutely love Object Of Desire - and ending will knock your socks off - in a good way!!!
