Summary: Clearly an early work
Review: Ever since I picked up purely by accident 'Becoming A Man', Monette has become one of my favourite authors. And that rarely are authors like him recognized for his gift as are their sexual orientation.

Because I've read his latter works before this, being an early work, it shows that Monette has always had the gift of the written gab. He doesn't so much as run a light finger through life as caress it and unlike other authors who rape it.

But comparing, the latter works obviously show his improvement. He beats around the bust a lot more and takes some time to get to the point.

The part I didn't appreciate was the extended ending after the story climaxed, but you can always excuse that as inexperience.

But I'd still recommend it to Monette fans.

Summary: Glamorous Gay Men Who Love Each Other
Review: I loved this book ... probably the most overlooked of all Monette's work. Pre- AIDS, it's fun and frothy, with a great set of characters. A good mystery, it's also a refreshing love story aobut two men who understand each other and are totally confident in each other's love!
