She Took My Arm As If She Loved Me
Tracker of lost memories and lost souls, the veteran San Francisco private eye Dan Kasdan manages, along his way from the 1960s to the 1990s, to find Priscilla, the love of his life, only to lose her. Kasdan, urged on by Priscilla, also finds himself entangled with Karim, the sleek pornographer and drug dealer who insists that only Dan is the right person to handle his transfers of cash and drugs. All three, Kasdan, Priscilla, and Karim, want more than what ordinary life can afford them. Herbert Gold’s She Took My Arm As If She Loved Me is the story of the risks of love and age, played out against the turbulence of America’s great metropolitan village, where freedom is no more easily come by than anywhere else.
