Captures the seediness and ever-present combination of strangeness and familiarity of "tea rooms" and the inherent tawdry aspects of paid-for sex. This particular brand of "mutual predation" is a phenomenon that repels as it fascinates, tempts us with its danger as it scares us with its brutal reality. As searing and personal as this story is, it is also representative of a universal aspect to every encounter that resembles it. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

On an unseasonably warm autumn day, an American newly arrived in a foreign city pays a young man for sex. Over the next months, as what at first seems an uncomplicated transaction deepens into something more intricate and unnerving, his discovery of the geography and griefs of an unfamiliar country is accompanied by the unfolding of Mitko's own narrative, his private history of illness, exploitation, and want. The story of a desire that grows increasingly ambivalent, poised between submission, need, and resentment, MITKO is a powerful meditation on the chances of history and privilege, on mutual predation, and on our inability to know with any certainty the natures of others or our own fugitive selves.
