Oliver Muni Prescott is a late bloomer, short, calm, and strong with a passion for life that hasn't found expression. His father, whom Oliver has never met, is Japanese. His mother, Italian, left the relationship when she was pregnant. A few years later in the United States, she married Owl Prescott who raised Oliver as his stepson.
One winter morning, Oliver enters Becky's Diner in Portland, Maine, and sits next to a table taken by two women and two young girls. He can't take his eyes off the taller of the two women. She is Francesca, mother of two adopted girls from South America and married to a local businessman. Her friend, Jackie, notices Oliver and remembers him.
Oliver eventually becomes involved with Jackie who schools him in sexual behavior that he'd heard of but never experienced. It is the beginning of his journey to maturity in sex and in love. A journey that takes him to the west coast and to Hawaii in search of his father. A short relationship with another woman results in an unexpected pregnancy. Oliver is plunged into deeper waters when he marries and then becomes involved with a younger woman at the hospital where he is employed as a computer programmer.
As his complicated life is about to explode, Oliver is faced with desperate choices that will determine his future.
The author has said that one of his goals in the book was to present sexuality from a male perspective. The sexual scenes are sensitive and explicit, unusually honest. Sex and love have overlapping borders. Oliver's path to love begins on the sexual side.
The book is a delight to read, literary and erotic. The characters are fun to listen to; the settings are believable and vivid; and the lessons learned are universal.
A friend and I hitchhiked south. Near the New Jersey line we got a ride with another young guy, Pete. "Where you headed?"
"Florida."
"Me, too." He told us that he'd gotten up before dawn in a small Vermont town, thrown clothes and a baseball glove in the trunk, left a note on his girlfriend's porch, and taken off. We rocked on down the coast, listening to Brenda Lee, getting warmer each day.
I left my friends near Miami and went on to Key West. When I got there, I walked to the harbor and asked for a job on the first boat I found that had anyone on board. The captain said, "Shrimp season's over, kid." I think he felt sorry for me. He pointed to a rusty shrimper across the water. "He might take you."
I picked up my bag and ran around to the other jetty, arriving just as the boat began to pull away. A man on deck was doing something with a cable. He wore a sweatshirt and had a two-day growth. "I'm looking for work," I shouted over the engine.
"You a winch man?"
The winch occupied a large part of the deck, a complicated assembly of giant gears and levers. The strip of water below my feet widened. It was jump or forget it. I had a vision of winching the boat upside down in the Gulf. I shook my head and walked to the Southern Cross Hotel, a wooden building with white peeling paint and a sign declaring, The Southernmost Hotel in the United States.
I wrote it down in a notebook and have been writing ever since. Along the way I served in the Air Force, earned a degree in computer science from the University of Hawaii, married twice, and raised children. The adventures, the loves and
