"Now it's dark," is actually a quote from David Lynch classic Blue Velvet, but this novel evokes the term, especially at the end. There is no true villain like Frank Booth in this drama. Oh, there is a risk of poor man's drug dealer, the comically as "Charles Manson", and there are many other dealers threatens to exact some revenge screwed-up protagonists, Dolores, and Serena. However, the real enemy, the real source of antagonism in this novel, lies within the main characters themselves. Literally, they are their own worst enemies. And if nothing else, the continuing obscurity is a black comedy about the limits of friendship and limitlessness nature of self-sabotage.
Allow me to start. It is a memoir of varieties, and our narrator is Dolores Santana. She talks about her meeting and her relationship with Serena Moon, a singer and performer in numerous short-lived rock and roll bands. Both young women, early twenties, by speech, but met as teenagers. Serena becomes a kind of idol for Dolores and Dolores is in love with her wild friend from the very beginning. This book is labeled "lesbian" novel, but it's not exactly an accurate description. In fact, both women are guys who play a major role in the story. Dolores is from an older man named "Raymond" for several years, and early in the book, she was dumped by him after he discovered she was pregnant. Serena is also dated, although the nature of their relationship (s), by conventional standards, it must be odd. Serena is a dominant female or Domino ("Domino" is a term used in the book), a man is usually included in the married, and it goes submissive pet name "Baby".
