The Trap of Love

The Trap of Love is a three-part memoir in which the author recounts his days in the 1970s in New York City, at Columbia University Film School, in pursuit of the perfect marriage of art and love in order to construct a creative life. The search turns into both an impossible dream and nightmare involving three unforgettable women who, in recollection, are muses of a modern-day divine comedy that does for the Big Apple of forty years ago what A Confederacy of Dunces did for the city of New Orleans circa the same period. Movies, art, literature, music, and most of all, devotion to finding the ideal mate to inspire the best one has in one are what is featured in this colorful, uproarious volume.
