It is a story that could happen anywhere . Anywhere there is, ever has been, or ever will be war; anywhere there is a man and a woman and a room. An intense, darkly comic study of what becomes of ordinary passions between a man and his wife in the long interstices of war's heightened reality, Condom Lead is a story about sexual frustration on the edge of time's knife and in the crosshairs of war's guns, a dream of the hope for intimacy and love in a brutal, divisive world.
