How's Your Romance?: Concluding The "Buddies" Cycle - Plot & Excerpts
3 THE ROCK PEOPLE IT IS A STATEMENT beyond contention that a young gay guy with Looks Control will be in possession of an etiquette, a lingo, and a major haircut: this is called a subculture. But only devotees of the most elect parish will know of such practices as birthday sex (in which your buddy’s present is your current boy friend), “stacking” multiple rendezvous, and How To Go Steady With Three Men At Once Without Actually Cheating. This is called life in Chelsea. My cousin Ken is my authority, as the captain of a clique of preppy linebackers who talked of nothing but Ally McBeal, which was still current then. When Ken first arrived in New York, he paid me an at first no more than dutiful call, to catch me up on family doings and to trade “when I figured out that you were gay” confessions. He also asked me for advice in stocking “classy novels” for a new bookshelf he had bought. “They should be the most correct ones possible,” he said, though he couldn’t articulate further.
