I just finished Endless Blind Passions and found it a thoroughly enjoyable read that drew me in right from the beginning and kept me engaged to the end.
I thought it was a masterful interweaving of multiple time frames in the plot including history and culture, particularly the ways in which gay culture is expressed in different times and places in the world. Overall, I would say it is a testament to the resilience of the protagonists who each struggle in their own way to overcome their flaws and limitations in their quest for human connection, creativity and meaning.
I loved the extended dark dream segment that spilled us into the ending which kept me guessing until the last few pages. It also left me with an appreciation of how profoundly, even in our own lifetimes, we are affected by shifting undercurrents of geo-politics and culture that are far beyond our control.
I enjoyed taking in the nuggets of information about many diverse issues, ranging from Zen to Judaism to peyote to world politics so appreciated the depth of research to bring to life the characters in such a detailed and believable way.
