520 1 $a"They Change the Subject follows a young man's quest for identity through love and desire. Sustained by a single voice, the stories simultaneously offer a fractured novel and stand, powerfully, on their own. Tied together by a common emotional thread - loneliness in company, being alone in love - the stories are spare and concise, threadbare externally but vivid within. At the center of each tale is the heightened, visceral possibility of unexpected emotional encounters - from an escort's dates in Manhattan hotels to a photo shoot that doubles as seduction. Douglas Martin's narrator charts his attempts at dramatic confrontation or escape, often distancing himself from the scene to take in the full effects of his performance. Always pushing toward a bigger shiver of passion, Martin's young-man-on-to-make learns how to adapt his persona to suit his lovers' needs and tries to embrace his own experience - and his self - by becoming the purest object of desire."--BOOK JACKET.
