There is Nerone's mistress who bore his bastard son and who nightly kneels before his bloody, bullet-torn shirt. The boy, now a troubled adolescent, is himself the prey in a vicious, sensual tug of war between a neurotic drug-taking contessa and a homosexual English painter. Without Author West's innate good taste, these characters might...
