gaycist.
By this, I mean that the middle class Manhattan couple, finding trouble in their relationship throughout the course of this novel, decide in the end to blame all of their problems on the wife's flamboyant gay friend - who, I remind you, was recruited by the lady in the first place as a crutch for her affections. But that's cool. Just blame the gay guy ladies, your husband's a prince.
A sequel of sorts exists for this book in the form of 'The Furies', which I'll get to eventually.
*I couldn't find any relation between the two books after I read them both, aside from some autobiographical riffing. And now I can't find where I got that idea in the first place.
