Summary

My name is Charlie English. I'm thirty-eight and homeless, so when a man offered me forty bucks to deliver a message and another forty when I had, I jumped at the chance. I shouldn't have. I walked into the house -- and a murder scene -- barely getting away before the cops arrived.
I needed to get out from under the frame, and knew a private detective who might be willing to help me. There's one problem, though. He's my ex-lover, which could make things dicey. 
He's less than happy to see me when I show up at his office ... until I tell him why I'm there. That piques his interest. Now it's a case of finding out who the dead man was, who killed him, and proving it wasn't me. Can we succeed ... while dealing with our renewed interest in each other?

    I Am Alien to Life - Selected...

    Djuna Barnes, Merve Emre

    Djuna Barnes is rightly remembered for Nightwood, her breakthrough and final novel: a hallmark of modernist literature, championed by T. S. Eliot, and one of the first, strangest, and most brilliant novels of love between women to be published in the twentieth century. Barnes's career began long before Nightwood, however, with journalism, essays, drama, and satire of extraordinary wit and courage. Long into her later life, after World War II, when she published nothing more, it was her short fiction above all that she prized and would continue to revise. 
     
     
     
    Here are all the stories Barnes sought to preserve, in the versions she preferred, as well as a smattering of rarities as selected by critic and New Yorker contributor Merve Emre. These are tales of women "'tragique' and 'triste' and 'tremendous' all at once," of sons and daughters being initiated into the ugly comedy of life, monuments all to a worldview singular and scathing. As Emre writes in her foreword "[Barnes's] themes are love and death, especially in Paris and New York; the corruption of nature by culture; the tainted innocence of children; and the mute misery of beasts . . . her characters may be alien to life, but they are alive—spectacularly, grotesquely alive."

    The sound of the bathroom tap running late one night begins a mystery Devon is keen to solve. As small pieces of the puzzle are revealed, such as the man he discovers sitting on his couch in his house watching his television, he begins to wonder whether something paranormal isn't going on. However, having been in a bad motorcycle accident a few months earlier, Devon cannot be sure these things he's experiencing aren't hallucinations caused by brain damage sustained in the tragedy.
    On the other hand, he's more than a little taken by his hot new house guest, Brad, who is the epitome of manliness. Thick, muscular, hairy, and masculine. But his hotness doesn't quite detract from the mystery of what he's doing in Devon's house, and since there's no way of communicating with a spirit, Devon decides that, as Brad isn't a malevolent ghost, there's no reason he should be worried. Or even try to stop himself from falling love. 
    Then a knock at the front door threatens to spoil everything. Unfortunately for Devon, there's even worse to come. He has proven his ability to survive a motorbike accident, but has he got what it takes to survive what happens next?
