In The Boomerang Kid, Maura Ostryder is coming into her own, professionally and privately, as she begins her fifty-first year. Maura has always been the master of her own life and has reared her son, Kai (named for the Hawaiian word for sea) to be the same way. But now a grown Kai has come home, having fled emotional attachments to both a young man and a young woman, bringing with him his addiction to painkillers. Suddenly Maura's maternal streak is reawakened as she battles to bring Kai back from the brink of self-destruction. Vivid and lyrical, this is an emotional tale of the unbreakable bond between mother and son. Jay Quinn's Lambda-nominated novels transcend traditional gay fiction, exploring universal issues of marriage, aging parents, addiction, and attraction, all while presenting unique characters and page-turning drama. Don't miss any of Quinn's novels: Metes and Bounds, Back Where He Started, The Good Neighbor, The Beloved Son, and The Boomerang Kid. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

However, at times it appears we are reading a draft of Quinn's story and not a final printed version which was distracting as I was immersing myself in the story and characters.
For instance, Kai finishes a job on Friday at 5PM and then, he has a doctor's appointment on that same Friday a few pages later. The first two paragraphs of Chapter 15 have Maura nauseated, eating crackers and then, answering the telephone. It seems Kai has a manic episode if he has painted as many pictures as he did between moving in his new home at Lighthouse Point and reuniting with Robin.
My final pet peeve is the tired cliche of a gay man being good looking..."Not only was he good-looking enough to be gay himself..." argh. hate that. ( )
