Synopsis
"If gallantry in our day is defined as facing adversity with screams of laughter, then this is the most gallant book I know of."-Edmund White
Although he was born gay, Curtis Jenkins has trouble, uh, picking fruit. He is still searching for that elusive man of his dreams. Unfortunately, Curtis has already formed a self-destructive pattern of choosing all the wrong men, often in all the wrong places. Date after date, hell just gets that much closer. But Curtis is an optimist, and vows never to give up.
