Many years ago, a young Theban named Narcissus roamed the world as a prideful, beautiful man. That is, until he catches a glimpse of himself in a pond and, entranced by his own beauty, dies staring at his own reflection for the rest of his days. His successor? A young bartender in New York City by the name of Leon Degarmo. An honest, humble man on the surface, Leon struggles with his own narcissism by masking it. When he finally meets a painter named Gaetana Toscani, both of their masks slowly come off, and you're left to wonder: What's love got to do with all this? Told in a raw, stream-of-consciousness style, each chapter takes its name from a song; making the story feel just as heard as it is read.
