Title: a yawn
Review: Tom is a gay professor at a college in New York City. He reconnects with an old childhood friend, Ritchie. Ritchie, then, begs him to join him as he has set up an upcoming date with an Internet friend.Meanwhile, Tom has a platonic relationship with a "bi" student, whom he guides through about life using a series of poetry.Between Ritchie and his student, Tom flashes back in his life to his younger days with Ritchie and a dear friend, Zach, who has since died from AIDS.Contemplation and redemption is constant throughout the novel. Simply, a yawn.
