Singing into the Piano

“A fascinating work” (Newsday) of intellectual and erotic provocation in which a couple are drawn into the high-wire political campaign and marriage of a Mexican popular hero who’s running for his country’s presidency.

At a political fundraiser in New York, Andrew and Edith inaugurate their love affair with a brazen sexual spectacle. Watching them is the event’s speaker, Santiago Diaz, a Mexican popular hero running for his country’s presidency. He is aroused, disturbed, and intent on finding the couple whose erotic risk-taking parallels his own high-wire career.

Soon Andrew and Edith are drawn into Diaz’s life and the vortex of trans-American politics where plunder dictates policy, loyalty is devalued currency, and the future of nations is decided by talk-show appearances and terror.
