Synopsis

A Gay Man on the Edge Looks for Answers in His Wholesome Yet Perverse Childhood; Joshua Royalton, the irresistibly eccentric 22-year-old narrator of this brilliantly funny novel, is contemplating suicide. Trying to decide not only whether to live or die but what it means to be gay and to be a writer, he takes readers on a hilarious jaunt through the collective adolescence of his quirky family, offering a darkly perceptive spin on American family life. From his father, stuck in a Norman Rockwell painting, to his mother, searching for freedom in pop-psychology books, Gladstone's debut is written with wit, subtlety and style.
