1.0étoiles sur 5 Uh...are you kidding me?, Mai 30 2002
What's with all the high praise?
The difference between a classic and a piece of...something that's not a classic...is its seeming timelessness. Time period flavors the plot, enriches the characters, places the action. "Dancer From The Dance" , "Giovanni's Room" - these are classics.
"The Lure" is just a dated embarrasment. The writing is amateurish, the plotting hilarious and the lead character is an early example - in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG line - of bad homosexual fantasy figures: the masculine, muscular, beautiful, unpretentious and helplessly desirable hetereosexual man who succumbs to his true desires for men. Ridiculous and full of gay self-loathing - these characters serve no purpose except to make gay men dream about the impossible and feel badly about themselves.
It's not a new novel so I guess I can't say it follows a trend but it sure is a trend setter.
I know it's just an "entertainment" but it's a silly one at that. The murder, mayhem, sex and glamour are depicted in such a silly manner - it's difficult to take anything seriously. It may have worked in the 70s for a reader COMPLETELY unfamiliar with a certain gay lifestyle but no longer.
If you want thrills, prepare to be bored and if you are the least bit tired of all the cliched depictions of the gay "ideal" - prepare to be annoyed.
I could go on but I've gotta call the friend who advised me to read this and ask him what the hell he was thinking.
I could not recommend The Lure any less.
