Wouldn’t it be great if a porn character stepped out of the television, into your life? Well, be careful what you wish for, because that’s how Calvin and Peachy end up looking after Joey. And teaching the ultimate boy ingenue everything he needs to know to be be a gay man in New York City. The big test? A fabulous party on Fire Island. But first, they have to get invited. This will involve a rogues’ gallery of gay Manhattanites, including portly publicist Bunce van den Troell; theatrical investor Sir Desmond Norma; priapic publisher Stuart Bergman; and lubricant king Fred Pflester. Tender, witty and utterly deranged, Looking After Joey will make you wish that you, too, had a porn character at your kitchen table asking, “So, when can I have sex?”
David Pratt is the author of three novels, Wallaçonia, Looking After Joey, and the Lambda Literary Award-winning Bob the Book.
