Return of the Drama Prince is the sequel to 2011's Nectar of the
Lavender, fifteen years down the road. Rather than young, single,
and gainfully employed, our main character is married with three
children and now freelances, but in a most unexpected industrial
pursuit. He has outgrown depression but has been unable to tackle
in his mind sources of his inner social and professional conflict.
He's outwardly relaxed and life should be fine, but he can't escape
the Doldrums, and he fears he may run out of time before they
envelop him. This condition he masks through exaggerated courtesy
and friendliness, the opposite of his no-holds-barred approach to
mediocrity and misanthropism when younger. Rather than society
thugs obliging a fire-with-fire plan of attack, the new battle is
against the passive aggressive, those with "glupie" tendencies and
enemies of civility and efficiency. If you choose to fight city
hall, the fight may never end. His decadence-era relationships are
over, replaced by friendships with straighter-laced family men and
white-collar workers of his bedroom community, including the
bleeding heart conservative Lanford, public relations advisor to
stars and bars, with occasional PR problems of his own. The in-laws
visit, but this is opportunity rather than threat or worry. In
confronting his demons, he revisits painful memories, and for ease
of vanquishing, or so he thinks, he rolls them all into two. There
is no lack of sensations uncovered during this journey, during
which he comes into contact with a true American quilt.
