Title: SIMPLY DISAPPOINTING
Review: For years, I couldn't wait to have another Gurganus work in myhandsafter reading his two most brilliant books (OLDEST LIVING CONFEDERATE WIDOW TELLS ALL and WHITE PEOPLE). The very first day PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS came out, I bought it and returned the book 4 days later after reading the first few chapters. Very disappointing. Not one single sentence caught my attention and strangely the style of writing is entirely different from his earlier works. As a gay man, I thought I'd simply adore this story dealing with gay men in NYC, etc but it turned out to be increcibly boring (same old sh--) and too dated. Nothing refreshing or enlightening.
