Meet Louis Ives: well-groomed, romantic, and as captivating as an F. Scott Fitzgerald hero. Only this hero has a penchant for ladies' clothes, and he's lost his teaching post at Princeton's Pretty Brook Day School after an unfortunate incident involving a colleague's brassiere.Meet Henry Harrison: former actor, brilliant but failed playwright, and a well-seasoned escort for New York City's women of means. He dances alone to Ethel Merman records, sneaks into operas, and performs his scrappy life with the dignity befitting a self-styled man of the world. What can this ageless Don Quixote of the Upper East Side have to offer a young gentleman such as Louis? What, indeed...This is the kind of story that will first make you cry with laughter, then leave you misty-eyed from pathos, then make you cry with laughter all over again. It's a story of friendship and frustration, of cocktails and cross-dressing, and you should read it immediately!
