Paul is twenty-seven, married, and an admired poet himself. R. T. Wode's mission is to give offense. He's also a poet, freshly landed in the city, and, at age sixteen, unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaul worships T. They embark on a tempestuous affair, dropping acid and crashing parties and perambulating the grit and grime of New York City circa 1972. Paul is in love with T., but T. is in love with experience. Their relationship disintegrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished: 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: New York Review Books\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 160\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN 13: 9798896230106\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richard Hell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52708139106570,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9798896230106.jpg?v=1773411873","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/godlike","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
