Publisher's Synopsis
Unemployed, middle-aged, bipolar, gay, bitingly witty, erudite, unattractive and lonely, B.K. Troop isn't expecting much out of life - until he meets his new neighbour, Christopher Ireland, a 25-year-old idealist and aspiring novelist still reeling from a bitter divorce. Despite Christopher's self-confessed heterosexuality, B.K. embarks on a year-long seduction mission. But while Christopher throws himself body and soul into the quest for a meaningful life, B.K.'s feelings begin to turn more tender than predatory, in a debut that is brave, acerbic and original.
