Inhalt
What happens when a life implodes? When a respected older man, a product of the liberated 1970s, is incapable of cleaning up his act in the 21st century? When he pursues sex with a rabidity his body and his reputation can no longer sustain? Chaos results. In this novella White takes an unsparing look at gay midlife. Here, nostalgia has been banished. His funny, smart but never wise hero is living on the edge in a Chelsea where everyone around him is 30 or 40 years younger. This is not fiction devoted to the dim splendors and miseries of the past but rather to the unsettling, irresistible claims of the present. In three other long stories, »Record Time«, »Give It up for Billy«, and »A Good Sport«, White explores different aspects of aging, romance, and sex. Age has been one of the great taboos of gay culture, but here White, as iconoclastic as ever, writes about maturity with the same precision and insight he brought to adolescence in »A Boy's Own Story«.
