Description
"I lose people. Friends, family, lovers. Sometimes they come back; sometimes not," says Zero Macnoo, the narrator of Boys Like Us, a remarkable comedy about life, love, and friendship in the age of AIDS. Zero, who left Arkansas for the cool contemporary tones of Toronto gay life, is perplexed by the curveballs of fate. His best friend has been diagnosed with AIDS, and Zero is frantic to organize a circle of support. In the midst of this, Zero is called back to Arkansas for his mother's second marriage and has to confront the zany array of crazed Southerners he calls family. Funny, bittersweet, outrageous, and moving, Zero's adventures suggest that while God is unfathomable, she must have a deep sense of humor.
