“Philip Galanes makes his debut with a novel that is both heartbreaking and deftly comic, the story of a young man struggling with his most primitive desires--wanting and needing. It is a novel about the complex relationships between parents and children, a story of loss and of our unrelenting need for acknowledgment, to be seen as who we are. And in the end it is simply a love story for our time.” MenNeedsChildrenEndsStoriesYoungDesireParentLossNovelStruggleComplexesLove StoryComicYoung ManOur TimeWho We ArePrimitiveHeartbreakingPhilipDebutChildren And ParentsAcknowledgmentUnrelentingComplex Relationships Author:A.M.
