Why this must be read: That old line about good things coming in small packages was never more true. Falling somewhere between a steam-of-consciousness narrative and a prose poem, this lovely and lyrical, beautifully written and touchingly whimsical little piece of introspection packs a big punch. This may be schmoop, but it's schmoop like you've never read before....

An excerpt:

He never particularly thought about the gleam of sex sweat as it limned Timmy's Greek-god form, or the way it plastered down the chest hair he loved to comb with his fingers when he awoke in the morning. He definitely didn't forsake all other things in life to eat, drink, breathe, sink and weld himself into Timmy, body and soul. Not at all. Don Strachey never did that sort of thing. Not more than every chance he could get, anyway.
