In A Man Called Paris we get to follow Paris, a 40 year old gay man and professor of classical literature, who is being forced to marry the ruthless Capulet's teenage daughter Juliet, or they will out him to the world and destroy his life and reputation. Paris has just about come to terms with his fate when a dashing stranger, as if straight out of a Nora Ephron movie, crosses his path and suddenly he knows he has to take action. Together the couple devise a plan to free Paris from his bonds and live happily ever after.
Stylistically A Man Called Paris draws inspiration from rom-coms and classical farce. Marquis de Sade would tremble at the language, but the story will tug at your heartstrings.
