Reader Reviews
This review is from: Full Circle (Hardcover)
Neil Brummel is a 56 year old history professor, living in small town Maine with Thayer, his lover of twelve years. An unexpected phone call from his boyhood friend, Jack, awakens memories (both good and bad) in Neil, and Thayer inquires about the obvious effect the call had on him. To sort out the memories in his own mind, and realizing that Thayer deserves to know about his past, Neil spends the rest of the book relating his past with Jack, who was his first lover, and their mutual friend Andy, who is likely responsible for changing both of their lives tremendously over the past forty years. It's a story of lifetime male bonding, of two inseparable boyhood friends dealing with teenage lust, peer pressure and unrequitted love, going on to college and its natural rebellion and experimentation, interrupted by the reality of the VietNam, which they deal with in very different ways, then on to adulthood, seemingly changed into roles they would not have imagined before. Through these three characters, the author expertly captures the spirit of the gay "everyman" through the late 60's war protests, the 70's growth of the Castro district in San Francisco, and the devastating presence and frustrations of the AIDS epidemic in New York City during the 1980's. But, above all, "Full Circle" is an epic love story of the ages, realistic and wonderfully told by an author who previously enterained me with his insightful, humorous essays, then impressed me further with his two excellent earlier novels, though this one is absolutely his best work to date. It is also somewhat unique among current gay fiction works, in that it tells the story of a group of gay men who are not the usual "twentysomething" or "thirtysomething" focus of such novels, but are baby boomers in their late fifties. While it will be especially embraced by gay men in that age group, anyone can and will appreciate this heartfelt tale of love, friendship and lifetime bonding. I call it a masterpiece, and give it five bold stars out of five.
