The haunting aura left by a former lover. Sparks of humor even in tending to grim details of a dying parent. The incompleteness, the compromises, of our closest relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Linking the collection is Michael, a 40-something lawyer who has lost a longtime lover to AIDS. Michael has a boyfriend, Stephen, and is helping care for his dying mother and aging father.<\/p>\n<p>In the bittersweet title story, Michael\u2019s plain-spoken mom, who is in chemotherapy for cancer, loves the oranges that he brings when he drives down to Iowa from Minneapolis to visit her. In \u201cSun Country,\u201d he visits his widowed father at a chilly retirement colony in Florida. What gay child can\u2019t relate when it becomes clear that talking with your dad about golf, travel schedules and car cleaning proves much easier than tackling a discussion of a son\u2019s gayness?<\/p>\n<p>Claude Peck, Star Tribune<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What:\u00a0Oranges By:\u00a0Gary Eldon Peter Host:\u00a0Rick Where: Quatrefoil Library When: January 18th\u00a0at 1:15 PM Contact Rick for details or to subscribe to book club notices by email here.
