Tea with Adonis

Adonis is a queer seventythreeyearold man He currently lives in the Ashrafieh district of Beirut He continues to water his numerous plants daily and host his numerous friends for cheerful dinners every other week Adonis is full of stories from the sixties seventies eighties and the nineties Though he did not live continuously in the country he has been travelling the world with constant visits to his homeland Conversations with him can easily switch from academic intricacies to plain old gossip about sexual matters or unresolved crimes Ameer is a thirtysomething younger man who wants to gather stories and anecdotes from Adonis He feels the Lebanese queer past hasnt been archived well enough so he views Adonis as the golden hen However when he notices Adonis has it easier to be physically nude than to reveal the full nudity of his feelings he starts feeling frustrated What else to expect would Adonis say from someone who always lived a double life
