That anything less than sexual multiplicity . . . is naive? That our sexual selves are merely idylers in a vast wood?\" Thus the central theme of John Hawkes's widely acclaimed novel \u003cem\u003eThe Blood Oranges\u003c\/em\u003e is boldly asserted by its narrator, Cyril, the archetypal multisexualist. Likening himself to a white bull on Love's tapestry, he pursues his romantic vision in a primitive Mediterranean landscape. There two couples--Cyril and Fiona, Hugh and Catherine--mingle their loves in an \"lllyria\" that brings to mind the equally timeless countryside of Shakespeare's \u003cem\u003eTwelfth Night\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"Blood Oranges (Revised) | John Hawkes | Paperback | 0811200612 | Used: Good | Fiction 1620613","offer_id":48753927651480,"sku":"1620613","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51wfCIlrNqL.jpg?v=1774068879","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/blood-oranges-revised","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
