- Synopsis
- "Set in the 1980s against the backdrop of a swiftly gentrifying Manhattan, David Leavitt's first novel tells the story of twenty-five-year-old Philip, who decides that he must come out to his parents, Owen and Rose, after he falls in love, for the first time, with a man. Meanwhile Owen and Rose are facing their own crisis: the conversion of their apartment building from a rental to a co-op means that they may lose their longtime home. Yet the greater threat to the family's security is Owen's unspoken desire for other men, indulged for years in Sunday afternoon visits to a gay porn theater. Philip's decision to come out to his parents jolts Owen out of his complacency, altering forever the terms of his life and his marriage."--BOOK JACKET.
