Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

Finished reading William J. Mann's Where the Boys Are today; it's quite a fine novel, and I'm now anxious to read the backstory - i.e., his previous novel, The Men from the Boys. This latest novel is told in the voices of three main characters, two of them an erstwhile on-again/off-again gay couple who don't know how to deal with just the two of them, and the third, a close friend who doesn't know how to deal with himself and what he wants (or thinks he does). Told between P-Town, Boston, and the North American circuit (parties), and packed with details that only a man familiar with the life would know, this is a compelling, well-told read. Recommended. [And nice to see Kensington publishing some serious fiction these days, too.]
