Description
Meet Mary and Mark Black, a mythic couple whose precious love has taken a turn for the worse. A journey across continents, Mecca Pimp is a spirited fable that lays a playful magnifier over marriage and sexuality. Mark Black lives in Saudi Arabia where he runs a mysterious import company. He's hellbent on tracking Mary Black as she wanders out of her home in New York City wearing medieval garb. The fearless heroine becomes obsessed with discovering what it means to create a new life. In her unpredictable quest, she will stop at nothing, knowing he's determined to destroy her. Bernard Radfar has written a blitzkrieg of a love story that that is an unforgettable cry for a new approach to the adventure of our lives.
Reviews / Votes
"Yes, I believe in the possibility of a new life, to believe in general. In love, of course, it is the most important thing in the world to believe in. This story by Bernard Radfar shows exactly that. It is so beautiful." --Nastassja Kinski Praise for Insincerely Yours: "Which one of us hasn't imagined writing the 'mother' of all letters ... the one that makes it to the top of the heap and is not only noticed, but noticed now? Perpetual prankster and author Bernard Radfar goes one better--actually, ninety better--in letters and emails written by his fictional character, the wealthy and eccentric Mark Black. Insincerely Yours is sincerely funny, but Bernard Radfar delivers a lot more than laughs." --Chris Henning, ForeWord ReviewsMore details
