About Red Light Winter

Escaping their lives in Manhattan, former college buddies Matt and Davis take off to the Netherlands and find themselves thrown into a bizarre love triangle with a beautiful young prostitute named Christina.  But the romance they encounter in Europe is eventually overshadowed by the truth they discover at home.  Written with an unflinching poetic beauty, Red Light Winter is a play of sexual intrigue that explores the myriad and misguided ways we seek to fill the empty spaces inside.

"Spellbinding and haunting...Rapp...is the real thing--a poet in the grand tradition of 'la vie bohème.'  Not by accident is his story full of homages to the erotically charged novels of Henry Miller; the generation-shaping Godard film, Breathless; the enticing chansons of French cabaret artists; and the homegrown debauchery and heartbreak of Tom Waits."

"An arresting study in melancholic triangulation and obsessions dashed...Shrewd about the way certain male friendships exist on the knife edge of disaster."
