About the Authors


Preface


For fifty years men come to the island of Cyprus, a Mediterranean paradise split and war torn by a marathon ethnic struggle between Greek and Turk, each consciously seeking connection with the writings of the British novelist and essayist Lawrence Durrell. They all take up tenancy, some longer than others, in the Bellapais villa where Durrell wrote his masterpiece, The Alexandria Quartet, and where their landlady is rumored to be the model for one of the central characters in Durrell’s love epic. But unconsciously the men come seeking or enticed by something else entirely, pulled by their own desires and by the whisperings of the villa itself down to the Tree of Idleness café on the Bellapais square. To ogle and, in turn, be ogled by the young Turkish Cypriot men there—and to take those men back to the villa for hours of unfettered, wanton pleasure, oblivious to any threat of personal damage or to the rending of the delicate balance of the island’s social structure.

The first of the villa’s visitors comes in a desperate bid to hold onto a relationship and finds in Bellapais exactly what he was escaping—and chronicles his defeat in a novel that then becomes the foundation and prophetic context for each succeeding tenant, who succumbs, some more willingly and consciously than others, to the lure of the young Turkish Cypriot men in the Tree of Idleness café.

And it is not only the foreign visitors to Bellapais who are affected by the enticement woven by the Bellapais villa. The local men, as well, the young—and maturing and aging—men in the Tree of Idleness café are caught up in the constantly reweaving web of desire and wanton lust, island sexual customs, and doomed relationships.

Just when it appears that the villa is willing to put the cycle to rest, to offer solace to those who have found each other again and chosen constancy over wantonness, the villa’s enticing whisperings of the delights of the Tree of Idleness café down on the Bellapais square begin anew.

Chapter 1: Almalfi Possession

by habu


Ahh, the days of drifting down to the Tree of Idleness in the square in the late afternoon and sitting ogling the local Turkish Cypriot men and letting them ogle me until I got that certain look from one I fancied. Then taking him up to my rented villa and letting him vigorously, joyously, and noisily fuck my brains out on a lounger under the sun on the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean.


I laid the pen down. The house on the hill at Bellapais overlooking the Mediterranean below, the sea unseen in the dark of night, but heard in the constant lapping of the waters on the rocky shore, was quiet. Or was it? It seemed to be whispering to me again, compelling me to write what I had written when I intended to be writing something entirely different.
