Description: Vaslav is a boy with a sordid past and a tenuous future. Born Johnny to a drug-addicted London prostitute, at age seven, with his mother dead from an overdose, Johnny flies to Australia with a handsome stranger, to pose as the man's own, recently deceased, son. As Vaslav, he lives a comfortable life as the son of a prominent gay man. But when he becomes a teenager, Vaslav realizes that Johnny still lurks somewhere inside him -- ready to spend the forbidden currencies of youth in a world of excess, parties, and pretty boys. With the seeds of his own destruction sown deep within him, Vaslav initiates a forbidden affair, one that threatens to destroy him and those he loves.

A brilliant debut, Glove Puppet is a novel in which love and transgression, sex and manipulation collapse upon each other; where the best intentions yield the worst consequences.
