As the boundaries of his routine exis tence dissolve, he finds himself suddenly prey both to thoughts of murder a nd to an insatiable libido, and begins a dark and outrageously explicit sex ual odyssey through New York in search of retribution and gratification. Al ong the way, he develops an obsession with a mysterious woman named Sisypha , who leads him deep into the erotic heart of the city. "Killing Johnny Fry " is about a man questioning for the first time the social and sexual rules we take for granted - and the powerful, disturbing connections that can be made between people when these rules are subverted. It is something altoge ther new and provocative from one of America's most celebrated writers.
