Preview The Story of Harold: A Novel

Description:
"For now -- Relax! And come with me. You have no choice: I've invited you. We will have a lot of sex. You are going to laugh a great deal -- people have no idea how blithe a suicide can be! -- and you will meet a few human beings whom you'll have to love as much as I do." With these words Terry Andrews, bestselling author of a beloved children's classic welcomes us to his world. THE STORY OF HAROLD is a Dantesque excursion through a garden of tortured and unfulfilled relationships: one with a woman whom Terry sleeps with and cares for but cannot love completely; another with a surgeon, father of six, who is Terry's most cherished -- and most unreciprocating -- lover; and another with a sad young boy already doomed to a life of insecurity and failure, whome Terry strives to redeem -- even as he prepares his own suicide. As Terry beguiles the boy further spellbinding exploits of Harold -- the hero of his famous book -- the reader follows Terry, with terror and pity, to the end of his appointed journey.
