内容简介

This audacious reimagining of The Odyssey finds Penny home alone while Payne, a modern-day Odysseus, gallivants around the world on battleships and attack helicopters, waging wars of conquest. A drinking, drugging crew of neer-do-well squatters surrounds Penny, eager for her attention. Even their most eyebrow-raising exploits cant distract her, though, as she angrily pines for Payne. But when a mysterious man with suspicious origins arrives on the scene, the suitors precarious pecking order falls to pieces in the glow of Pennys newly ignited ardor. Brutal, playful, sexy, and subversive, The Suitors is a classic of its own kind.
