Seven Days in Rio

*I have come to regard almost everything that happens in human life as a form of therapy.*

So muses Kenny Cantor, always dapper in his seersucker suit from the Brooks Brothers 346 collection. Kenny is a CPA, amateur psychoanalyst, and sex-tourist vacationing in Rio when he gets waylaid at a psychoanalytic conference.

What ensues is a provocative journey that merges sex and psychoanalysis through Rio's tawdry netherworld of Susan Sontag-quoting denizens as only an incendiary voice like Francis Levy could imagine.

Francis Levy is the author of *Erotomania: A Romance*, a Queerty.com Top 10 Book of 2008 and an *Inland Empire Weekly* Standout Book of 2008.
