Gay Fiction
Condition: Good Slightly worn, ex-library stamps, pre-title page missing, sellotaped pink dot on spine. Pages creased from one-time soaking but good reading copy. Plot / Content: "What if you suddenly discovered the man of your dreams ... only to fall fast asleep? For Patrick Beaton, it means casting off on a quest for the elusive Scottish Prince - the man in the cranberry sweater who spoke a few words and then disappeared into the mists of a dream. "In seraching for the man of his dreams, Patrick crosses paths with a host of other yearners, including Rick, a law librarian who answers Patrick's missed-chances advertisement; Marianne, Patrick's best friend and a fool for love; and Patrick's father, a would-be entrepreneur pursuing the latest in a long line of quixotic business ventures. Patrick is joined in his search by an unlikely confederate, the hyperactive Seth, whose obsessive zeal masks his own convoluted motivation. Norway rats, CIA agents, antiterrorist driving experts, infertile violin teachers, serial car thieves and gay vigilantes add further complications to Patrick and Seth's search for a man who may or may not exist." (from the cover) Background / Biography: "Louis Bayard is a freelance writer who lives in Washington, DC. His work has appeared in Genre, The Washington Post and numerous other magazines and newspapers. Fool's Errand is his first novel." Reviews: Although the book claims to be the first edition, it still carries two reviews, viz: "Louis Bayard's funny, tenderhearted first novel is ... a reminder of how goofy the cultural-right term 'gay lifestyle' is. Bayard's spirit is larger and more encompassing, and it should bring much pleasure to many readers of his wise and sweet novel." Washington Post Book World "Bayard, like Armistead Maupin, is a master of tightly woven, oddly believable, coincidence-driven plotting. [His] snappy dialogue manages to be more funny than people really are - an utterly convincing at the same time. Gay (and gay-friendly) readers will be eager to embark upon and travel along to the satisfying end."
