Including his own. For even as Will rises to the pinnacle of his career, he is witnessing his own world - the close-knit San Francisco community that has nurtured and liberated him - ravaged by AIDS."--BOOK JACKET. "Then an almost mystical encounter with a bear in the Arctic leaves Will all but dead. In the depths of his coma, he revisits the wilderness of his youth in England and relives the terrifying encounter that created him, both as an artist and a man."--BOOK JACKET. "Befriended by a mysterious couple, Rosa McGee and Jacob Steep, the young Will is granted the love he has been denied by his own family. But with that love comes a grim education. For while Rosa shows him the cruelties of passion, Jacob teaches him the purities of death - seducing him with the possibility that he might one day slaughter the last of a species and thus change the world forever."--BOOK JACKET. "When Will stirs from his long sleep, he realizes that his dark dream, which he thought he had put behind him, is still very much a part of who he is. Haunted by its echoes and driven by the certainty that he must face Rosa and Jacob one final time, he sets out on a journey of self-discovery - a journey that will lead him from the familiar streets of San Francisco, back to the Yorkshire moors, and on to the stark beauty of Scotland's Western Isles. There he will penetrate the ultimate mystery - The Domus Mundi - and finally discover the secret that links his destiny to that of the innumerable creatures with whom we share our planet."--BOOK JACKET.
