It’s the country that would have him, since he lacked the necessary papers for more promising places.
Michael Cunningham
He could see himself selling himself as a compelling mutation, a young god, proud to the point of sexy arrogance of his anatomical deviation: ninety percent thriving muscled man-flesh and ten percent glorious blindingly white angel
