Book Description
n Passionate Spectator, memoirist Peter Leroy and his wife Albertine are living by the skin of their teeth in Manhattan. Casting about for a source of income, Peter purchases a book from a homeless peddler, Creative Self-Promotion for Taxider-mists, hoping he can adapt its techniques to promote his fledg-ling business: Memoirs While You Wait. That book opens into a beguiling journey from fiction to truth and back again, involving Peter, his childhood friend Matthew Barber (who is undergoing emergency heart surgery), and Peter's witty, urbane alter-ego, Bertram W. Beath-an erotic opportunist and 'passionate spectator' of human folly. Eric Kraft is a novelist like no other, and his books create a world where poignancy and nostalgia blend with humor and unbridled invention-a world like our own, but better and more fun.
