Query: Sex and Politics and Very Strange Bedfellows

In Christopher Bram's Gossip, Ralph Eckhart pays the price of sleeping with the enemy (a closeted spokesman for the Chritian Coalition). He becomes deeply involved in scandal and murder resulting from his horny decision. The murder myster element is not strong but it is used more as catalyst for the narrator to explore all of his issues about sex, politics, and where and how one takes a personal stand in both arenas. It is not the author's best work but there is enough of interest to sustain the reader and small moments of insight and beauty. The quiet, unsettling ending was the set at the perfect pitch. An enjoyable read.
