Ganymede's Cup

About the Book

GANYMEDE’S CUP reveals a palimpsest that exposes the inextricable relationship between human beings and the ties that bind them to a world where the lines that separate good and evil are not only porous but also entwined. Stephen Lawrence, an intern with a prestigious NewYork firm, finds that he is a twenty-fifirst century Ganymede and cup-bearer to the gods of commodity culture, gender identity, and stem cell research. The Twin Towers loom large in the background as Stephen tries to maintain his ethical standards in the midst of a chaotic, consumer-driven world that grasps the innocent and ascends with them to the twenty-first century Mount Olympus of cultural consumerism.
