This book is so beyond wonderful. I read it all in one breath, and I don't think I've done that since my Armistead Maupin phase when I was 15. I also didn't realize that he'd written Almost Like Being in Love, which everyone was raving about when I got to New York, and which sounds, honestly, like Augie and Andy for grown-ups. I went to Amazon to check it out, and it said that people who bought this book also bought The Tin Star. That's kismet.
