SOLVED. Novel, Man named Joe I think, goes home (which he hates) [s]

[Jayme]

his best friend is dying, I think from AIDs, possible his high school sweetheart is there. I think his brother's wife tries to seduce him or she gets naked in front of him? Read about a year or two ago. Thought it was title "My Name is Joe", but that wasn't the right one. Thanks for all the help!

The Book of Joe

Maybe this? I've read it, but some of the details are fuzzy?
