A psychosexual relationship between a rabbi and the man devoted to him goes off the rails in this explosive novel ~ MY LOVER, THE RABBI

The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature, and a Whiting Award, he has also been a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. A widely shown painter, he released his first piano/vocal album, Lounge Act, in 2017. He lives in New York.
The first novel in more than twenty years from one of our most acclaimed stylists, Wayne Koestenbaum’s My Lover, the Rabbi is a sui generis spiral of lascivious thrills and uncanny hilarity, exposing in delirious detail the dangers—and spoils—of true love.
