Thoughts: God, this was so damn funny. I would be on the bus or the train and just laughing out loud uncontrollably. I got some funny looks for this book. It was so damn amazing. Archer has some very keen observations about so many facets of not only American life but also life in south America as well as about gay men. This book was really amazing.



“As a teacher I discover many different ways to express many different things, and yet in the puzzling language of the heart there is so much incapable of communicating, so many elusive, ineluctable feelings you can’t pin down with so inadequate a function as speech, and instead they are articulated through unforgettably bizarre fucking behavior.” (149)
