Quote from this book "With the top down on a red Impala convertible and our hair flapping in all directions, the four of us head out toward some beach in Maryland, deserting the cool protected shade of suburban Virginia. I sit behind the driver, a guy named Whit. I'm transfixed by the smooth build of his neck, the curl of his honey blond hair. Around the wooded bend, just when I think we're on our way, we stop off at a department store in the Seven Corners Shopping Center. Ian, my godbrother (well, his parents stood at my baptism), opens the car door before it stops moving. The three of them, Ian, a skinny guy named Milton, and Whit, have suddenly declared they must buy new swim trunks. Having journeyed here from the hinterlands, I'm anxious to get to the beach. But I shrug. I've waited all my life to see the ocean blue; I can wait a little longer. Inside the store, I'm swept up in a flurry of activity where swim trunks are tossed back and forth and the four of us pair off. Ian and Milton go into one dressing room, Whit and I another. When we squeeze through the door at the same time, I catch my breath. It's like bumping against the thigh of a horse, sinewy flesh which hasn't much give." opening paragraph Secondhand booksellers |
