Description: A "gentlemen's bar" on Manhattan's Upper East Side, the Brownstone is a quaint oasis of Chippendale and Sondheim in a wasteland of chrome and club kids. But the boys in the Brownstone aren't all gentlemen. And their lives are anything but quaint. This collection of witty, affectionate--and disturbing--tales of the city weaves through a colorful assortment of characters linked together in the most surprising ways. These men may be hot, funny, and fashionable but are also real men with jobs, families, and fears. They deal with the issues of gay marriage, gays in the priesthood, AIDS, diversity, narcissism, consumerism, circuit parties, and everything else that comes with the territory. Join them at the Brownstone as they gather together--some for the first time, others for the last--on the night before Christmas Eve in this novel that's not about lifestyles, just lives with plenty of style.--From publisher description.
