Assuming 'God' as in 'God will provide' is the biggest excuse used in the last two thousand years or more, Anthony Ramekin sets about using his extensive contacts in the art-world, which he has been part of for more than twenty five years, to facilitate the rise and rise of a brilliant young photographer, Dorian Grey, his lover . Soon he realizes that the knowledge he is passing on, comes in equal measurements to the wisdom, love and fast mind of someone so much younger than himself. As Oscar Wilde so famously said: 'I'm not young enough to know everything...' Scandal, sets off a useful precedent for the people's interest in imagery, which somehow strikes a chord deep in their hearts. This is, after all, a love story, set in some of the world's great cities and Grand Hotels. The 'Hotel de l'Europe' in Amsterdam, the 'Clôitre de St.Louis' in Avignon, the 'Grand Hotel Wagner' in Palermo, The 'Hotel des Bains' in Venice. Berlin, London, Cordoba in Southern Spain, Monreale in Sicily and Bangkok all pass by. 'Recognizing fresh talent is not an act of abuse, ' Anthony is heard to say at some press-conference, beleaguered by tabloid scribblers, 'but can be gentle and enrich everybody's life.' Soon Dorian is working on his second book of photographs, cataloguing first love between two under-aged boys, with two of Luchino Visconti's most famous films, 'The Leopard' and 'Death in Venice' as background. Again Anthony is facilitating this new love-affair, which takes on an integral part of the story. Soon they realize they have a worldwide best-seller on their hands.
