In this contemporary picaresque story oftentimes told with biting sarcasm and as an unforgiving commentary on LGBTQ society, the gay narrator is born to an undistinguished family in a small town in the Midwest. He moves to the big city to pursue a better life through higher education, in an environment more accepting of his sexual orientation. Along the way he experiences more emotional failures than triumphs, especially in his quest for a romantic relationship with a friend of the bosom-while searching in less lofty parts of the male anatomy. After all his labors, he becomes aware that a conquest can be laced with an unforeseen defeat.By the author of Coming of Queer Age in Puerto Rico: The Burden of Memory, The Other Passover, The Tango of the Shipwreck and The Silence Barrier.
