Review # 1 was written on 2015-11-20 00:00:00 Barry Griffiths I've read Begley's Memories of a Marriage a couple of years ago and it made enough of a good impression to try another one of his. Had the situation been reversed, I definitely don't think I would have chosen to read more of an author based on this one. Begley has a way with words, an ability to turn out a nice phrase and his succinct storytelling is most admirable, but here it just wasn't enough to save the book and it made for a weirdly reader's digest like version of this tale of love and friendship of a bunch of not particularly likeable, opulent, pretentious, fairly stereotypical gay and gayish characters. The tone vacillated between dispassionate and homoerotic and there were simply not enough pages or emotions on pages to really care or want to. The book's best feature might be its brevity, after all two hours isn't that much of a commitment. But it wasn't really worth the time either.
