Description
San Francisco in the early 1990s. Cab is on the deep end of a losing streak. After having been dumped yet again, he moves to Haight-Ashbury fresh out of college. It is the middle of a recession, before the dot-com boom, and AIDS is an immediate and untreatable reality. He finds himself working in a housing program for people with HIV/AIDS. The entire city is reeling. His clients are dying. Cab records their every word.He starts drafting a narrative of every person with whom he’s slept: those who dropped him, those he adored, and those he let go of without a second thought, to reassess what he has left behind from the South of his childhood of dyslexia and infatuations, football and ecstasy, divorce and sex panics. In between girlfriends, acting up, attempts at romance, and trying to find his place in the greater San Francisco narrative, Cab is looking for something, tracing the interconnecting stories of the people he’s meeting, sleeping, and drinking with, as everyone tries to find a space in the city. As treatments emerge and the economy changes, a new story takes shape in Cab’s life and the city.

While I'm not inclined to write reviews, the annoyance of this book's tiny, tiny, too tiny print prompted this one. Because of the book's tiny, tiny, too tiny print (you get the idea) I couldn't read, comfortably read as is normal, the book without a magnifying glass. I struggled along for a while, finding it difficult to tell an "l" from an "f" and in that struggle lost what I thought was the storyline. There's nothing wrong with my eyesight, I read and I read and I read some more. Always reading. And so I read about eight pages with the magnifying glass. There are distortion problems to deal with, losing your place being the main one. I thought, now how can I read 300+pages like this? I can't; I don't even want to try. And so I'll never know if the book has any merit. The author, poor guy, should have had something to say about the book's design.
