Men in their Passions - Now published

John Roman Baker’s latest novel, Men in their Passions, is now available in paperback and Kindle editions.

Spare, elegiac, and quietly provocative, the novel traces the emotional aftermath of desire through a series of male relationships—each brief, each flawed, each formative.

Jean-Paul moves from the anonymous rooms of Paris to England, and then to Italy. The men he encounters are passionate, self-destructive, and haunted—like himself—by pasts that cannot be undone.

Written with understated lyricism and psychological precision, Men in their Passions is a mosaic of intimate dislocations: a quiet study of longing, resilience, and the lives we almost lived.

This is the newest addition to The Drift of Time, a literary series of standalone novels exploring masculinity, memory, and emotional drift across place and era.
