Our Roman Pasts (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is a hauntingly beautiful story of two men whose pasts collide in Rome - an artist and a professor who discover more in common than just their love of archaeology. Our Roman Pasts celebrates the allure of raw physical beauty - the elemental attraction of light, color, and form - and the carnal desire of the human body with its unique language, drawing two people inescapably together. In meeting, Julian and Bruno must face their pasts to heal and move forward. The tale is a tour de force - a penetrating exploration of sexual identity amidst iconic sites in Rome, Ostia Antica, and Capri. A feast of art, food, land, the body, and love.

Autorenporträt

Michael Hartwig is a Boston and Provincetown-based author of LGBTQ fiction. Hartwig is an accomplished professor of religion and ethics as well as an established artist. His original oil paintings are represented by On Center Gallery in Provincetown.

Hartwig grew up in Dallas but spread his wings early on living in Rome for five years, moving to New England later, and then working in the area of educational travel to the Middle East and Europe.

His fiction weaves together his interest in LGBTQ studies, ethics, religion, art, languages, and travel. The books are set in international venues. They include rich local descriptions and are peppered with the local language. Characters grapple not only with their own gender and sexuality but with prevailing paradigms of sexuality and family in the world around them.

Hartwig has a facility for fast-paced plots that transport readers to other worlds. They are romantic and steamy as well as thoughtful and engaging. Hartwig imagines rich characters who are at crossroads in their lives. In many instances, these crossroads mirror cultural ones. There's plenty of sexual tension to keep readers on the edge of their seats, but the stories are enriched by broader considerations historical, cultural, and philosophical.
