Unrequited (2007)
--
Nominated 2007
Lambda Literary Gay Men's Debut Fiction Awards
Aaron Edgeway lives in a ramshackle house in a provincial
English town with his sick and abusive father. When he meets Victor, their
romance quickly becomes an escape from the dreary prospects of his life. An
escape that, unbeknownst to Victor, Aaron will do almost anything to
protect. Aaron has secrets: a scandalous videotape unwittingly recorded at a
drug dealer's party, and the unwanted affections of Alex Clay, his unruly
best friend. Alex tries to free Aaron from blackmail and harassment,
building a pressure-cooker atmosphere of desire and deceit. Trapped by a
twist of fate, Aaron goes to lengths he never dreamed possible in order to
preserve his romance with Victor. Unrequited details a descent into
heartbreak and loss, and questions the dangers of love, and the things we do
in order to heal ourselves. It is a bittersweet fairytale, an erotic and
cautionary fable about revenge for anyone who has suffered from a broken
heart.
