"CHASING HAIRY" is a brutal, profoundly disturbing portrait of two
young men who meet as college students and develop a close, complex
friendship whose underlying basis is the shared but unconscious
hostility they bear toward women. Thrown together in the dormitory,
they become friends as they try to cope with the freedom that comes
from living away from home for the first time. The novel depicts
their wild college days as their friendship grows, nurtured by
their mutual devotion to the "pursuit of the elusive hairy," which
leads them into frenetic episodes that are both reckless and
hilarious. As they grow older, each surprises himself by settling
down with one woman and begins to experience the gritty reality of
a day-to-day relationship. The unresolved sexual tensions
inexorably boil to the surface and generate remorseless,
unrelenting momentum that sends both characters hurtling toward one
of the most traumatizing climaxes in modern fiction.
Written in a taut, naturalistic style evocative of the best of
Jack Kerouac and Henry Miller, "CHASING HAIRY" unflinchingly
explores some of the frightening undercurrents pervading-sometimes
dominating-our sexual lives and will leave the reader stunned and
shaken.
