Marty, a handsome and virile tennis pro, used to be a champion, getting his way with guys on court and women off it. No more. A hit-and-run accident three years ago put an end to that. It cost him both his legs. But Marty's in good shape. Still a champion - a champion wheelchair racer. And he's still got Lucy, who brings him food, company, and sex. Great sex. So good it almost feels like the old Marty again. Then one day Esther shows up. The ex-lover he hasn't seen since the night of the accident. In Hell on Wheels, Daniel Evan Weiss continues to say the unsayable. With consummate skill, he uses our everyday fears - of cockroaches, of auto-da-f?s, of wheelchairs - to uncover profound truths about the human condition.
