The Man Who Fell In Love With The Moon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Man Who Fell In Love With The Moon is Tom Spanbauer's second and arguably most famous novel.

In this narration by Native American bisexual male prostitute Out-There-In-The-Shed (or simply Shed), the other no less colorful characters that live in or pass by a small-town whorehouse run by imperious Ida Richelieu are introduced into our minds with masterful prose in the original style of the author.

The novel is a quest for Shed, of unclear Native American roots and total bisexuality, to find his place in the world. Shed, Ida and the other characters find themselves specially in trouble when Mormons settle in their town with their moralist attitudes.

While the author himself defines his style as dangerous writing, the book could well be considered in the tradition of magical realism.

The Man Who Fell In Love With The Moon was first published in 1992.
