520    From acclaimed author Brian Malloy comes a stunning novel 
       of love, friendship, and surviving the deepest loss, set 
       in New York City and Minneapolis in 1988, at the peak of 
       the AIDS crisis. Two years after his partner, Francesco, 
       died, twenty-eight-year-old Kevin Doyle is dusting off his
       one good suit jacket for yet another funeral, yet another 
       loss in their close-knit group. They had all been young, 
       beautiful, and living the best days of their lives, though
       they didn't know it. That was before New York City began 
       to feel like a war zone, its horrors somehow invisible, 
       and ignored by the rest of the world. Some people might 
       insist that Francesco is in a better place now, but Kevin 
       definitely isn't. He spends his days in a mind-numbing job
       and his evenings drunk in Francesco's old apartment, 
       surrounded by memories. Francesco made everything look 
       easy, and without him, Kevin struggles to keep going. And 
       then one night, he stops trying. When Kevin awakens in a 
       hospital, he knows it's time to move back home to 
       Minnesota and figure out how to start living again-without
       Francesco. With the help of a surviving partners support 
       group and old and new friends, Kevin slowly starts to do 
       just that. But an unthinkable family betrayal, and the 
       news that his best friend is fighting for his life in New 
       York, will force a reckoning and a defining choice. 
       Drawing on his experience as part of the AIDS generation, 
       Brian Malloy brings authenticity, insight, sensitivity, 
       and humor to a story that is distinct yet universal in its
       powerful exploration of heartbreak and recovery, and the 
       ways in which love can defy grief.
