The humble lover : a novel / Edmund White.
Aldwych West, an eighty-year-old modern-day aristocrat living alone in his Manhattan townhouse, is used to having what he wants. And when he sets eyes on August Dupond, a strong, stunningly beautiful soloist in the New York City Ballet, he decides he must have him. They strike up a closeness which falls between the blurry lines of friendship, sponsorship, and love, and August accepts Aldwych's offer to live with him in his mansion. But soon this veneer of happiness cracks. August starts bringing home Pablo, a young man who is robust and virile in a way Aldwych will never be again, and a formidable woman in Aldwych's circle named Ernestine also takes a deep interest in the sweet, enchanting star. Messy entanglements and fierce rivalries ensue, and Aldwych's desperation to win his beloved's heart rapidly escalates to dangerous new heights.
