"In GETTING OVER HOMER, a 'coming of middle age' novel, one of America's wildest wits takes an unexpectedly lyrical look at heartbreak, aging, the search for home, and the madness of love--in a story that follows the rise and fall and rise and fall of its hope-stricken narrator's two heart-bending love affairs. [] Our hero is Blue Monahan, who with his fiery twin brother, Red, arrives from the Midwest to try his luck in the Big Apple. Straight Red drifts rapidly into sitcom stardom and marriage, while gay Blue struggles to make it as a songwriter (you probably missed his musical, Odyssey) and to find True Love. [] First it's Homer, who introduces him to chic New York at the fashionable parties it is his job to throw for the superrich (his motto: 'It's a business doing pleasure with you!') and at lush Fire Island retreats. Then, on the rebound, it is sweet, virginal Teddy, who likes to cuddle but is terrified of sex. [] As Blue labors to recover from these confusing entanglements, he must navigate the seas of family, friendship, career, and masculinity--whatever that is--before finding a safe haven, or at least getting over that seasick feeling. [] A David Copperfield meets Lolita, a less fatal Death in Venice, or maybe Of Human Bondage as told by a stand-up comic, GETTING OVER HOMER is a feast of memorable images and one-liners, a streamlined full-color epic of the comic and tragic turns of the human heart." [jacket copy] "Funny, kind, and uniquely talented, Mark O'Donnell has studied the human heart in its natural setting, pointing out the weak spots with a sharp stick and a comic's understanding of what it means to persevere. A wildly satisfying novel."--David Sedaris. "GETTING OVER HOMER is a wise, witty meditation on the pleasures and perils of love, lust, friendship, and song lyrics. Mark O'Donnell's extraordinary skill at turning a phrase makes his novel unflinchingly funny, surprising, and ultimately very moving."--Stephen McCauley. "Who is this guy? He writes like a bloody dream!"--Christopher Buckley. Pristine & handy hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in an intact, sad-then-happy jacket designed by Chip Kidd. Another nifty Knopf novella.
