A bestseller in France and highly acclaimed by the
press when published in Britain, Sweet Tooth is one of
those gay novels with a universal appeal to anyone
with a strong enough stomach to take its frankness,
bruiality and imaginative power, because it is also a
horror story.
Luc, a young Frenchman, flies to New York to see
his dying ex-lover, and during his stay discovers the
tough and seamy realities of that city of night with its
anonymous gay encounters in parking lots, its
muggings, its often sado-masochistic couplings in
cockroach infested apartments, its casual murders, its
lust and occasional discovery of love, Sweet Tooth is
also the odyssey of Lucy, a widow whose grief has led
her into one of the weirdest of bizarre passions, and
she increasingly frequents funeral parlours where one
pays for a few furtive moments alone with the dead, a
passion that leads to her own macabre destruction.
But Sweet Tooth is also the work of a real writer,
who can handle the most horrifying situations with
style and elegance, whose eye and car accurately
catches the underlife of New York and the strange
characters who live there, where everyone becomes
his own assassin."
Navarre was born in France in 1940 of an old
Gascon family. His novels and plays have made him
one of the most discussed and read French authors of
the last decade. The faithful and idiomatic translation
is by Donald Watson, one of the most experienced
translators of modern fiction and drama.
