“Ferrety moist earnestness”
This book is laugh out loud funny and reading it after Ferrell Covington and the Limits of Style?! So many of the stories or even specific word choices are connected to that book (also by Rudnick). The nuns, the gay house histories, Delores Hart, lesbian nun histories, the living room motorcycle thing and his brother, the nuns project in Hollywood slipping out of Rudnick’s grasp, Piscataway, the clit piercing at Pride. Again, all of the nuns.
What a delightful unofficial duology.
