    About this ebook

    Alex Anders works for a company that doesn't exist. Neither does Alex. Discovering the incredible truth, Alex is pulled into a wind tunnel of sex and metaphysical dread in which he questions the very nature of his own existence and the future of the human race while he hunts down a box that he’s not allowed to open. Pirouette is a tense, poignant, and often hilarious ride through the world’s cultural Cuisinart.

    D H Weiss

    Possibly the world's longest living survivor of HIV, D.H. Weiss (David Herbert Weiss) is an expat New Yorker who has been living and traveling in Southeast Asia and Sweden since 2008. After contracting the virus in 1979 or 1980, he went on to practice law in the U.S. District courts in Manhattan and the Eastern Districts of New York, where he won the only acquittal at trial of an extradited foreign national in the history of the United States. He published his first novel, "From Seven Till Dawn" in 2011, followed by "Faradise", in 2014. His most recent work, a novella, entitled " Pirouette", was published in 2016.
