Rumunj

Rumunj

Bruce Benderson

The author exposes himself without restraint, without shame in every aspect and the fragility of his being - the scenes with the mother are shocking. It bares itself to the core without any exhibition, making this autofiction a true revelation.

While one may be thrown off-guard by Benderson's risqué sex and behind-closed-doors erotica, anyone, gay or not, who is willing to read a painfully honest account of obsessive love without judging the author's views will be rewarded. By turns witty and serious, it's a well-crafted meditation on Eastern Europe, power and the search for love at any cost. The value of this true story lies in the transformation of the painful banality of the plot: a New Yorker indulges in sex tourism in Central Europe, decrepit and converted to liberalism, where bodies are sold to the highest bidder, and the predator then turns into a sane victim.
