Mona Lisa Was a Man: A Novel in Greenwich Village

This, the authors sixth work of fiction is like its predecessors and life, in turns sequential, reflective, existential and speculative. The story takes place in Greenwhich Village and is much bildungsroman as verisimilitude as drama. The narrative peopled by a diverse group of 1960s hipsters, is filled with philosophy, history, music, sex, iconoclasm, humor and original thought. But, when all is said and done , Mona Lisa Was a Man is an intensely sensual love recital.
