In summary, there is a new SF book titled "Brasyl" written by Ian McDonald that was recently reviewed in the NYT Sunday Book Review. It is a gay thriller and may be similar to the book "Boyz from Brasil" by Ira Levin. However, the actual book is "Brasyl" by Ian McDonald. It is available for purchase on Amazon and has received positive reviews.

Obviously, a gay thriller with the title: "Boyz from Brasil".

(I'm not sure Mr. Ira Levin will be pleased, though..)
