Sinopsis

Boys Like Us Trilogy, Book 3á- Sometimes the muse has the last word. Peter McGeheeâÇÖs acclaimed two novels,áBoys Like UsáandáSweetheart, introduced us to Zero MacNoo and his wonderfully zany circle of friends, family, lovers, and ex-lovers as they struggle to get through life (and death) in the age of AIDS. Peter McGehee died shortly after finishing the manuscript ofáSweetheart. But Doug Wilson, his long-time lover, companion, editor and, yes, muse, carries on ináLabour of Loveáfor a final installment of the remarkable trilogy.Labour of Loveáis a testimony to living bravely. Wilson uncannily matches much of McGeheeâÇÖs light-hearted, but not shallow, tone and temperament. Though primarily a romantic farce, it is as wise, and a little darker, than the first installments. It covers the adventures of dying lovers, anti-gay-bashing demonstrations in the streets of Toronto, the obnoxious attentions of ZeroâÇÖs Arkansas kinfolk, tumbles in the sack, triumphs of a drag queen in a courtroom, and wild cross-border journeys (such as in a 'borrowed' courier van driven by a competent and lusty lesbian pal).Labour of Loveáis the title, and the achievement, of WilsonâÇÖs first and final novel, it, too, was published posthumously. This new edition is accompanied by introductions from Dr Raymond-Jean Frontain and long-time friend and fellow-artist Jeffrey Canton.'A genuinely delightful gay domestic comedy so full of tangy dialogue and wacky situations that it screams for the stage or, better yet, the screen.' -áBooklist'Labour of Loveáis more a testimony to living bravely than a cry of despair. Wilson uncannily matches much of McGeheeâÇÖs light-hearted, but not shallow, tone and temperament.' - Stan Persky'Accomplishes what may seem impossible: a humorous romp in the face of widespread death.' -áLibrary Journal
