The Decade of Blind Dates: A Novel

Peter Bauman, a divorced gay painter, plunges into the personals. He first dates a Connecticut physician-a rabid Republican, and then a man who crochets lace toilet roll covers. Another tryst interrupted by his son, Peter is caught naked two-stepping with a tattooed punk. Next, he's snowbound with a geek heavier than advertised, who arrives with a bag of sex toys. Best pal Barry counsels him to look between the eyes before the legs.
