Gay Fiction
Condition: Very Good Cover and pages browning as typical of a book of this age and quality, and short ink inscription on title page but otherwise unmarked. Spine unbroken and binding tight; apparently unread. Plot / Content: see review below Background / Biography: Wikipedia entry Reviews: "An absolutely terrific first novel . . . Michael Chabon continues in that great tradition [if Dicken's Our Mutual Friend and Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby] . . . Anybody can write a realistic account of his first postgraduation summer of growing up and making love, but to make such a story the stuff of legend, as Chabon has done here (and Fitzgerald did before him), takes something close to genius." Playboy "Not bad for a 24-year-old wordsmith: being compared to J D Salinger . . . a lot of people are pretty thrilled with his book."

Quote from this book "At the beginning of the summer I had lunch with my father, the gangster, who was in town for the weekend to transact some of his vague business. We'd just come to the end of a period of silence and ill will - a year I'd spent in love with and in the same apartment as an odd, fragile, girl whom he had loathed, on sight, with a frankness and a fury that were not at all like him. But Claire had moved out the month before. Neither my father nor I knew what to do with our new freedom. " opening paragraph Secondhand booksellers |
