With razor sharp wit and great comic invention, Leap Year charts the uneasy paths people take around the physical and emotional land mines of city life. The score of quirky characters ricochet back and forth between downtown lofts, art galleries, health clubs, restaurants--even a sperm bank--in the attempt to discover fame, fortune, and true love. In this leap year, however, everything seems slightly awry, as unexpected affairs, an accidental kidnapping, catering disasters, murder, and a regrettable amount of bad publicity turns everyone's lives upside down. Peter Cameron's Leap Year is a comic valentine to a frenzied era, serving up the lusts and laments of an entire generation with great wit and affection. <br> With its large and lively cast of gay and straight characters, Leap Year is a comic satire with the same appeal as Armistad Maupin's <i>Tales of the City</i> novels.<br> The many fans of Peter Cameron's brilliant novels <i>The Weekend</i> and <i>Andorra</i> now have the opportunity to read the long out-of-print debut novel of one of America's finest writers.<br> 261981 1990 Leap Year total:48|5:5|4:15|3:15|2:12|1:1| 48 155 71 3 4 0 false false Wed Nov 25 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 22:31:18 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 12:43:22 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 1999 Mon May 28 03:46:02 -0700 2007 Mon May 28 03:50:01 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Feb 08 14:02:42 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 14:04:23 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Dec 04 08:06:29 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 04 08:06:44 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 21 13:59:53 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 13:59:53 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Nov 17 12:25:17 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 12:25:17 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Nov 16 13:09:35 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 13:09:35 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 04 15:09:20 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 15:09:38 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Wed Oct 21 06:33:09 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 06:33:09 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Oct 13 14:48:41 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 14:48:41 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Oct 03 09:02:05 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 09:02:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 23 15:36:48 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 15:36:48 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Sep 22 09:58:57 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 09:58:57 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Aug 27 12:17:34 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 12:17:34 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jul 25 17:29:23 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 17:29:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 22 14:06:25 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 17:25:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 17 06:38:19 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 06:38:19 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat May 23 11:36:52 -0700 2009 Sat May 23 11:36:52 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue May 12 13:17:37 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 13:17:37 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu May 28 06:44:25 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 16:24:38 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 06:44:25 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=270247
