Between You And Me
Between You & Me is a confidential expose' of sorts, narrated by a character who's anxious to share some big secret with us. Promised to be told "what the real story is behind all this," we are carried from one sexual encounter to the next, in a complex morality tale about the evils of juicy gossip. Gary, the narrator and protagonist, is clearly a monomaniac, and his narration gets demented very early on. Apparently, in this small town, very little else is on anybody's mind but fucking and wanting to know what "really happened between Gary and Jenny." In one scene, a beautiful girl named Debbie interrupts a wonderful blowjob she is giving to ask this very question. All the Deviate can tell you is that the secret is a bloody one although he still doesn't know who did what and why. But who cares? The girls are extremely goodlooking, each and every one.
