Description
In 1878, young Satterwhite attend Yale University in the hope he will discover what life holds for fellow of such aesthetic senses. He is unprepared to meet his assigned art teacher, professor Doriskos Klionarios. The pair are so dissimilar: young and old, the youngest apple from a grand old tree of progenitors and a foreigner who will never be fine Englishman. But the tumultuous love affair scorned by their society is a gilded construct between one believing himself ready to know real love and a willing partner who understands that what the heart sees it cannot forget; better to acquiesce to desire. And so the pale Satterwhite and the bristled Greek professor abandon Yale University during the 1880s, and find themselves fleeing those who would deny true love as the travel to rural West Virginia and finally, to the haunts of the jaded British aristocracy.

Person
Laura Argiri wrote The God in Flight, Random House 1995, published in paperback by Viking Penguin, May 1996, and in its second edition by Lethe Press in 2016. The God is about love, and Guilty Parties is about guilt, from the perspectives of perpetrators, their targets, and an occasional innocent witness or two. She does not encourage people to tell her the worst things they've ever done, but many do, as if they expected her to make use of them. And so she has.
