It is the year NOW. Wearing Spanish boots and floppy shirts and calling themselves the gauchos, four young men in gay self-denial travel through the dark side of Sydney's sub-culture of the occult; searching for the unprotected sex of the 1960s and 70s. Historically askew 117BPM is titled after the speed at which 80s disco diva Laura Branigan's Self Control plays - one hundred and seventeen beats per minute. The four gauchos discover their daily lives are motivated by invisible forces and are intertwined by degrees of separation to the ghost of one gay basher, Rod (the Devil). One gaucho, former Scientologist Dark Damien convinces the other three that gay Asian males have triple x chromosomes which allows them to give birth. In a hysteria which becomes contagious Dark Damien is out to prove his theory. The gauchos find Asian girly boi Owen in the sling at a gay dungeon wearing only 1970s platform boots waiting for them. Soon the four gauchos stand on the Tamarama cliff tops gazing out to sea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Invisible Man (pen Name)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1475201656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475201659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.92d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2012","brand":"Invisible Man (pen Name)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458596745471,"sku":"9781475201659","price":15.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce428091-4e52-4802-9c49-2e0cbb35431c.jpg?v=1777405410","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/117-bpm-invisible-man-pen-name-9781475201659","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
