A humorous, insightful novel about friends and families. Two guys are roommates; Marcus, a very straight man who's had a bottomless pit of relationships, attempting to finish his dissertation (in his tenth year). The other, Clyde, is a teacher at a posh adult education center. He spends too much time obsessing over his former lover, Gordon, and eating up biographies; he's satisfied that the most eventful and interesting lives end in tragedy. His roommate's life turns upside down when a friend of Clyde's, and onetime lover of Marcus, shows up with a child and a neurotic stray dog in tow. Oh Marcus, are YOU his daddy?? A fun look at the anxious, affectionate, humorous ties that bind family and friends, and sometimes strangles! 287 pages, price not clipped. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
