Halicon follows several years in the life of a young man known only as "X," an archetypal twink who makes his way from the suburbs of the Midwest to the runways of New York and Paris, then, finally, to an unforgettable descent into decadence and destruction south of the border. Duffy's debut novel is at once a contemporary incarnation of the philosophical picaresque in the tradition of Hesse and Voltaire and an aesthetically indulgent dive into a world of sex, drugs, and ennui.
