Black Cat Eww Too Many Dishes To Wash Dishwasher Cover

 Pain is present everywhere in this book but muffled, felt through a fog of whisky and experience. There is no new unhappiness, no shock. Every humiliation has precedent; the heart breaks along its usual fracture lines.

Which might be another way to say this is a book about aging: “Some friends had died and some were disappearing, having babies and going away, getting old and weary and going away, or simply going crazy in secret and going away — it all had the same effect. The climate felt colder.” Black Cat Eww Too Many Dishes To Wash Dishwasher Cover

Still, the erotic adventures continue. Purnell is so good on sex; the scenes are so filthy and true that they draw all the attention. The book has been warmly received but reviewers, describing the sex, have curiously uncoupled it from the lives of the men, who meet between shifts at work or move in together because one is homeless, say, or addicted. Here is less of the exhilaration of cruising, of anonymity, of imagined utopias, and more of the headache that is real communality, the honorable, bankrupting work of loyalty and endurance, of shoring up old lovers, even that roommate who is a “flaming piece of human garbage.”

Recall the Satanist boyfriend? With the pentagram condoms and the Magic: The Gathering lessons? The sex was terrible. “I should have just, like, eaten a cheeseburger or goofed around on the internet,” the narrator laments. The two sleep together just the once, but “I still to this day meet him every other Wednesday to play the game.”

No one is discarded. The white boy with the regrettable dreadlocks remains a friend. Even when characters are humiliated, as they walk out the door, they confess to us that they’ll be back — “For sure. But this next time, my role would be clearer.” At the S.T.D. Clinic, thinking about the lover who sent him there, one character pockets his pills. “I would be his snack tonight and take my antibiotics again tomorrow.”

What does “boyfriend” mean in this context, where the men are so often exes, lovers turned friends or johns? “Boyfriend” is a fantasy of rescue, permanence, care — but that’s a reality, Purnell shows, that the men often already possess, in one another, albeit in forms so different from their expectations they can’t recognize it.
