From the playwright and fiction writer, David Rabe, comes a story of the long relationship between two men, both with connections to LA and the film industry. They meet in college, and meet up again and various moments in their lives. David Rabe reads the story to great affect on the NEW YORKER site. Their lives have similarities but also great differences. But being of that same generation gives them a jumping off point for disease, marriage, career, friendship, the interests of men. the things that the sixties era wrought. Reads like a memoir more than a story. No precise explanation from me for the title.
