{"product_id":"2940148665137","title":"QUEER'S PROGRESS","description":"This story of young love begins with a bang. The narrator is Edward, Cuban-born CCNY honors student and page at the New York Public Library (just a page, not a whole book or anything) - ”handsome, charming, reeking of sex” - who begins narrating his propulsive and compelling story at his first sight of Andrew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNed, who's seen it all before, adds his voice after Andrew, a young scholar new to town - but with publishing connections - falls in love with Edward at first sight, and seeks the older man's guidance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe self-styled master of gay Manhattan, Ned is the founder of \"Gays Reaching Out\" (GRO) and author of a bestselling manual, \"How to Score Tonight.\" He offers hands-on instruction, as required, but is more interested in using Andrew to kick-start his own languishing literary career than in helping his love life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrew makes stumbling progress through gay New York in pursuit of Edward. But Edward, in flight from a pregnant hookup, leaps from his mom's Harlem apartment to flop on his oldest friend's floor, his best friend's couch, Andrew's bed, the West Side Y, a patch of ivy in Central Park and a jail cell or two. Ned's machinations come to naught as \"Queer's Progress\" races relentlessly toward a classic, but surprising, inevitability. It's a tale by turns savage and urbane, lyrical and full of wit-burnished emotion.","brand":"BookLocker.com, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108821942512,"sku":"2940148665137","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148665137_p0.jpg?v=1763706149","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148665137","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
