Publisher's Summary
If Sol can just survive his last year of high school, he can escape his homophobic small town and go live with his Internet boyfriend for the summer. But when he loses his starting spot on the baseball team and converts to vegetarianism - a wolf, giving up meat! - his father threatens him with a hot, muggy summer working in the peach cannery unless he gets his act together. His teammates, who suspect his sexuality already, won't make it easy for him. But even with nobody on his side but his best friend Meg (who is even less popular than he is), the teenager finds answers and solace in an unlikely place: a 1901 book about a tragic gay romance in the bohemian district of Lutece, around the famed Moulin Rouge.
Inspired by the spirit of the era, Meg and Sol share a glass of absinthe, with startling effect: Sol begins to dream that he is a cabaret dancer named Niki, offered a chance to escape his difficult life through romance at the price of his beloved art of dance.

Sad, hopeful, the strength to struggle and find meaning.
I have now enjoyed many of this authors works and this is by far my favourite of his. He tends to write quite a few erotic scenes in his works, so I feel the need to point out that is not present in this title. Much in this book is left to interpretation but it follows three different Characters the main one being a gay teen in a small town with all the Struggles that entails. He also reads the memoirs of villainous aristocrat form a century ago and the third point of view is experienced in dreams. That of a dancer who hides his gender working at a burlesque show to serve a specialized clientele and the obsession of our volatile Aristocrat. It is left to the interpretation of the reader, if these dreams are a hallucination brought on by the MCs’ inner turmoil or if it is the a spirt of said dancer hope to use his story to help another lost person find there way. I prefer the second interpretation myself because I enjoy the supernatural elements and the idea that the telling of our stories can help others not just ourselves grow through these experiences. Tragic sad and hopeful it was truly a compelling read.
