Description
"Unemployed, middle-aged, bipolar, gay, bitingly witty, erudite, unattractive, and lonely, B. K.

Description
"Christopher recounts B.K.'s yearlong attempt to consummate his lust, with hilarious results. But it also charts the coming of age of Christopher, who, like all true idealists, throws himself body and soul into the quest for a meaningful life.

Description
K. knows full well that Christopher is hopelessly heterosexual, he wants nothing more than to seduce him, so he sets about his self-appointed mission with all the cunning and zeal of the Big Bad Wolf.".
