Plot

In London, intense sexual encounters take place between an American college student, named Lisa, and an English scientist, named Matt, between attending rock concerts.

Matt, a young glaciologist (someone who studies & analyzes the movement & physical properties of glaciers & ice), soars across the South Pole as he recalls his love affair with Lisa. They meet at a mobbed rock concert in a vast music hall (London's Brixton Academy). They are in bed at night's end. Together, over several months, they pursue a mutual sexual passion whose inevitable stages unfold in counterpoints to nine live-concert songs.—Sujit R. Varma
