Once again, an essayist (memoirist?) whose homosexual lifestyle plays prominently in his writing. This is not a lifestyle that I am familiar with, nor is it of any interest to me -- I am not curious about how his life might be different from mine because of the sexual preference. And since few of the pieces reach me on any other level, they don't hold any intrique. The article about his dwarfish cleaning lady was amusing, as was the title piece, but nothing else would lend me to recommend this book to anyone.
