Tangier, the white city poised atop the dark continent which turns out to be the continent of light. Tangier in the 60s and 70s was a fabled place. This edge city, the Interzone, became muse and escapist s dream for artists, writers, millionaires and socialites, who wrote, painted, partied and experienced life with an intensity and freedom that they never could back home. Into this louche and cosmopolitan world came John Hopkins, a young writer who instantly became a part of the bohemian Tangier crowd with its core of Beats that included William Burroughs, Paul and Jane Bowles and Brion Gysin, as well as Tennessee Williams, Jean Genet, Yves Saint Laurent, Barbara Hutton and Malcolm Forbes. Those intoxicating decades Tangier s Golden Years are long gone. Grand old houses that once sparkled with life are shuttered and dark and most of the eccentrics who once lived and loved in the city have died. But here, in the pages of Hopkins cult classic, all the decadence and flamboyance of those days is brought to life once more."

"Now moving swiftly southwards through thorn and cactus country--cattle country--towards real heat and, perhaps, renewed creativity." While writing a novel set in South America, John Hopkins travelled back there to "reacquaint himself with the scene". In 1972-3, he travelled by train, bus and boat from Mexico City to the centre of the continent, through Belize, Guatemala and Nicaragua and on to Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay and Argentina. Hopkins travelled slowly, deliberately, savouring every experience along the way. But the journey was fraught with his angst-ridden strivings to write his novel and with the troubled love he had for Madeleine, his travelling companion. In these heat-scorched, tequila-infused pages, Hopkins paints a sultry, exquisite portrait of South America and in so doing masters an art that he believed would forever elude him.

But as her hysterics dwindle Kate admits that the man was someone she picked up in a coffee shop because she has been so upset since her divorce. Soon Joanne opens up and confesses that Kate's ex-husband was among her many sexual conquests over the past few years, and the two women launch into a tirade about their attraction to and repulsion of men. "John Hopkins's corrosive study of sexual degradation known as LOSING TIME has something to offend both men and women, both the political right and the left ... This Strindbergian treatment of women's rites of passage from masochism to self-respect, from dependence to independence is daring, dangerous, and easy to put down. Yet it is also an important play which, despite inevitably hostile reviews, will find an appreciative audience. Painful it is. Harrowing it is. Ugly it is. And, yes, shocking it is, even to people of unrefined sensitivities. But which of us doesn't go to the theater hoping maybe this time the play will be powerful? Well, this time it is ..." -Tish Dace, Other Stages
