A noir tour-de-force set in the world of hustlers from "one of America's darkest and funniest chroniclers." (The Guardian) It's New York City, 1981, and everyone wants to be at the Emerson Club, from Cindy Crawford to Cindy Adams; from Famous Roger, one-time lion of the talk shows, to Sandy Miller, the "downtown" writer with the tattoos and the leather; from Lauren Hutton to the art star who does the thing with the broken plates. Everyone, that is, except Danny. Danny just works there, waiting tables to put himself through architecture school, turning tricks on the side. And when he's not on the clock, he's recording the sexual, aesthetic, and financial transactions that make up his life, in gruesome detail. But even a clever boy like Danny can wind up on the menu. Blinded by love for his fellow rent boy, Chip--as gorgeous as he is reckless--Danny is about to learn that there's more than one way to turn your body into cash, and that cynicism is no defense when the real scalpels come out. A gimlet-eyed crime novel with an inventively filthy mind, Rent Boy is Gary Indiana at his most outrageous--and his best.… (más)

Danny, who also goes by Billy, is an architecture student at Rutgers, a food photographer’s assistant, a waiter, and a prostitute in New York City. He’s pretty jaded from all the sex, both normal and extremely odd. You can tell by the way he tosses in a mention of a mass shooting at his school mainly because it’s an inconvenience to his schedule.

His statement that “I understand why people kill other people but I’m just not into it,” like it’s another weird sex act, foreshadows his involvement with a crooked doctor and his nurse, “fucking on the stairs was more like her way of saying hello” who rope him into an organ harvesting scheme. That’s when things really turn weird.

This is an electric, graphic story, not for the squeamish, but well-written and full of dark humor. ( )

Very good, but deeply disturbing, book about a gay hustler in New York City. The disturbing part kind of creeps up on you toward the end. ( )

Very disappointing. Not funny enough. But, it's so gay. ( )
