Perfect Fitting

A Gay Man's Awakening

For the first time during his long life on this planet (though only a short one as writer and poet), RICHARD PODNAR departs from mundane topics and plunges into the fabulous, sophisticated world of high fashion. One of the brightest lights of this fascinating business is a mere boy named Diego Del Toro. The novel examines the triumphs and defeats he and his pals endure as they go through changes in their lives. Diego also discovers aspects of his own existence and urges which affect his destiny.

In a similar vein, a young man with doubts about his own sexuality and reason for living decides to enter the priesthood, ending up in a secluded monastery where all sorts of unorthodox activity plays out. His predicament makes for interesting, compelling reading, too.

All of the action takes place in a fictional Latin American country, but the references to real places and events woven into the narrative make it all the more believable as scene after scene plays out. (Please note: the hardcover and paperback versions of this novel also contain many photos and illustrations to enhance the experience!)
