Honk if you Love Aphrodite Summary

Honk if you Love Aphrodite by Daniel Evan Weiss

Written in the epic style of Homer's Odyssey, Honk if You Love Aphrodite is the story of one man's quest to return across modern-day New York City to the woman he adores. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, sends her son to deliver this mortal Stanley from many perils: the trials of life in the subway and the underworld below it; an enchanting Voodoo dancer; a drug dealer whose turf Stanley transgresses; women with fervid desire for his attentions. The greatest obstacle is not the colorful mortals Stanley encounters, or even the gods of the modern world, but rather Stanley's own divided heart. Does he truly want to return to the woman, as he claims? It is the duty of the son of Aphrodite to find out before the dawn. This swift, hilarious adventure sweeps the reader through the city, and ultimately through the many faces of love in our time. It confirms Daniel Evan Weiss as a writer with a profound understanding of the rules of attraction between men and women today.

Honk if you Love Aphrodite Reviews

Savage Dan Weiss in kindlier, more poetic mode than usual, as the Gods come down from Mount Olympus to perplex and enchant base mortals. Abundantly funny, exhilaratingly cynical, such a deft and clever handling of language. Yet generous in spirit too - if this is the form the novels of the new Millennium take, half prose, half poetry, all vision, so be it. I'm happy -- Fay Weldon ?Jolly, rollicking fun, told with gusto and a surprising sensitivity? Kirkus Reviews ?By the end * his conclusions on the subject of love are heart-warming without being cloying? Fiesta *
