What is Narrow Rooms - James Purdy about?

“He has been waiting for me all our lives: him, me, like two heavenly bodies in space that they have predicted will one day collide. All those years, though I pretended I never saw him, I guess I saw only him and knowed he was always present. I felt when I was in jail he was in the next cell. I have been too proud, but my pride ain’t no match for his. I told him I would surrender, and I am tired of the waiting and pretending.” Released from a prison sentence for manslaughter, Sidney returns home, where, in order to exorcise the memory of the lover he killed, he must keep his appointment with destiny in the shape of the man known as "the Renderer”. A shattering and powerful novel of sexual passion among four adolescent men in a remote West Virginia mountain town. “A dark and splendid affair by an authentic American genius” (Gore Vidal) “A writer of the highest rank in originality, insight and power” (Dorothy Parker) “Purdy’s most lavish, most awe-inspiring book ... spare, subdued and brilliant. Reading it is like having a whole landscape lit up by lightning - sudden, abundant and full of wonder" (SoHo Weekly News)
