Nick's Fugue

Nick's Fugue is the sixth book in John Roman Baker's Nick & Greg series which charts the lives of Nick and Greg from their first teenage meeting through decades of personal and societal change.
In this book, Nick leaves his home and finds himself in a destructive relationship that is both sexually and emotionally abusive. But when he is given the chance to help another person, he finds a new sense of purpose in life.
Set in the early 1980s, the gay community itself is facing a brutal challenge. Nick's Fugue is a powerful and moving story about the destructive power of cruelty-a tough look at how lives can be destroyed by others, and how through endurance, hope can once more be believed in.
