Kind of makes you wonder how much “Therapy” contributed
to his suicide.

Sheesh.... can’t this national book award winner just provide us with the tombstone epitaph version.

He generally wore a green Austrian loden cape, and a mad hat with a feather in it. He played the leads in musicals and danced just the same way on stage and off uh ... yeah. whatever.

Reads like it was written by Evelyn Waugh or an Evelyn Waugh impersonator.

BLA BLA BLA-sad about the suicide, but what a boring story to be winning awards.

Ever read Brideshead Revisited? This reminds me of that book, but lacking Waugh’s faith.

It's impossible to read. Long paragraphs that just go on & on & on.

I read that part and it is clear. The guy was too uptight to commit suicide until he was drugged to calm him down and clear his mind. And then the therapist couldn't figure a way to put the guy's best friend in contact without "violating patient confidentiality". The author damns her pretty well. Maybe the therapist will commit suicide.
Also read enough to know these people are/were pointless.

Yeah, just a little. That said…good tunes. I’d time-travel back to that party in a heartbeat, get a beer and start hunting preppy girls. And I have news for this guy. They had guys at UC Riverside about the same time who were both impeccably prep and FLAMING. If they had ‘em at a state school here in California, I think it’s a pretty good bet they had ‘em at Yale.

I guess the real definition of “gay” doesn’t apply here.

there were some people doing cocaine in the bathroom, because it was, after all, the 1980s.
Those foo-foo flake snorting scalawags! At least we'll never have to worry about one of those arrogant Ivy League @$$holes becoming President or anything.
