"A case study in elegant, honest tragicomedy...by the genuinely
hilarious Paul Rudnick" (Gary Shteyngart, New York Times
bestselling author) that follows the decades-long, rule-breaking
romance between the son of one of America's wealthiest families and
a middle-class aspiring author. Devastatingly handsome and insanely
rich, Farrell Covington is capable of anything and impossible to
resist. He's a clear-eyed romantic, an aesthete but not a snob,
self-indulgent yet wildly generous. As the son of one of the
country's most powerful and deeply conservative families, the world
could be his. But when he falls for Nate Reminger, an aspiring
writer from a nice Jewish family in Piscataway, New Jersey, the
results are passionate and catastrophic. Together, the two embark
on a unique romance that spans half a century. They are
inseparable--except for the many years when they are apart. Moving
from the ivy-covered bastion of Yale to New York City, Los Angeles,
and eventually all over the world, Farrell and Nate experience the
tremendous upheaval and social change of the last fifty years. From
the freedom of gay life in 1970s Manhattan to the Hollywood closet,
the AIDS epidemic, and the profound strides of the LGBTQ+ movement,
this witty and moving novel shows how the world changes around us
while we're busy doing other things. Written with "engaging wit,
side-eyed perceptiveness, and barbed elan" (Michael Chabon), this
modern classic proves that style has its limits, love does not.
