Read this for book group. I enjoyed Part 1, delighting in the language and sharp observations of his characters’ encounters with each other, but the book quickly became tedious and I was frustrated with so many new characters being introduced. It seemed absurd that so many of the characters were gay men. At the end, I didn’t know what I was supposed to learn, if anything. I’ve come away feeling that this is probably a good book but maybe I’ve missed something…
