A Loaf of Bread

In his first novel, Emmett L'Or chronicles his sexual experiences with several remarkable companions through several decades. This odyssey occurs on two continents and examines the real-life naivety of a man who grew up in an environment where sex was a word never spoken and a subject never broached. Breaking through this murky web of ignorance, L'Or revels in the mutual joy sex can bring. A Loaf of Bread, in addition to precipitating the first episode in the book and the book's title, it is a metaphor for the emotional nutrition necessary to sustain a healthy, happy life
