It takes a few chapters for a main character to come out. He comes out in the form of Geoff, who is there from the beginning. Geoff’s best friend is named Paul. I am named Paul. There are frequent interludes, repetitive in nature, where Paul and Geoff step outside their office at the World Trade Center and smoke weed from a bat pipe. You know, the long bat thing. Not an actual animal bat. Animal bats are annoying. Yes. Anyway, I think that these interludes, along with the four maybe five scenes of Geoff at the coffee machine and all these guys giving their witty opinions of what Geoff should do next in his relationship with Jen, someone who he met very randomly when he and Paul were out, I don’t remember exactly how and I don’t think it’s all that important, I just remember they were at one place and then they went another place and then they had a follow-up date–I remember that Paul almost scored with Rhonda, who is Jen’s slutty best friend, and Rhonda had to puke in the bathroom, so Paul just bailed out, leaving his underwear on the bed. And I think that the way I am describing this is illustrative of the subject matter, in a good way. Relationships are never very easy to chart. They are pure bullshit for the most part, with little things counting for way too much and so on. I think that Ben Tanzer did a good job putting me in the mood to react to relationships and care what happens one way or the other.
