Negative Positive
Title: With apologies to Shakespeare and Steinbeck
Review: I ordered this book on a whim and wound up enjoying it -- in the sense that there is so little truly worthwhile contemporary gay fiction to begin with. This book starts on the longest day of the year in the last summer of the 1960s, and from there becomes a "pilgrim's progress" -- or more properly a "rake's progress" -- for a young, impossibly attractive Florida teen, taking him through the 1970s and 1980s. The shallowness, humor, and plot contrivances of this novel are, curiously, part of its appeal.
