THE SEA AND THE CITY is a novel, rich in symbolism and mystical imagery that demands an open mind and defies conventional interpretation.
A young man enters the city and begins a spiritual and sexual quest. He encounters beings who transform themselves and streets that shift their locations. He discovers that the city is a place of polarization and of extremes. Hyper-masculinity is the ideal while the feminine is rejected. Strength is set against weakness, existence against non-existence and love is replaced by violent sexuality and sado-masochistic ritual.
Within the horror however there is also beauty and the promise of redemption, but the path to this ultimate goal is not clear and can only be reached through total destruction.
The author, John Roman Baker lives in Amsterdam. He is the author of seventeen plays, three novels and several volumes of poetry.
