Reviews"Randy [and] ribald . . . a bisexual About a Boy , only with lots more shagging and partying. . . . A naughty diversion. B+" -- Entertainment Weekly "Alan Cumming is a frolicky pan-sexual sex symbol for the new millennium." -- New York Observer " Queer as Folk meets About a Boy . [Cumming is] a better novelist than Ethan Hawke or Rupert Everett." -- Time Out New York
SynopsisTommy is twenty-nine, lives and loves in London, and has a morbid fear of the c word (commitment), the b word (boyfriend), and the f word (forgetting to call his drug dealer before the weekend). But when he begins to feel the urge to become a father, he starts to wonder if his chosen lifestyle can ever make him happy. Faced with the choice of maintaining his hedonistic, drugged-out, and admittedly fabulous existence or chucking it all in favor of a far more sensitive, fulfilling--and let's face it--sober lifestyle, Tommy finds himself in a true quandary. Through a series of adventures and misadventures that lead him from London nightspots to New York bedrooms and back, our boy Tommy manages to answer some of life's most pressing questions--and even some he never thought to ask.
