What follows is a classic hero’s journey: a generational-trauma, relationship-in-crisis road trip comedy about abandonment issues and a whole bunch more. His career is not working out as he’d hoped he fears he might be a “bad gay” or bad at being gay his partner has run out of patience and when Less’s former lover, mentor, and laissez-faire landlord dies, he finds himself owing a massive amount of back rent.Īnd so Arthur Less is called to adventure, shoved into motion by the Fates and the need to make some bank. His life in San Francisco, already on shaky ground, is starting to wobble in unforeseen ways. This is not the only thing that makes Less unsure. The contact is his current lover (and our narrator, Freddy Pelu), but in the space normally reserved for “husband” or “partner,” he writes: Uncertain. As with many things in his life, Less equivocates. Who is his emergency contact, and what, exactly, is the nature of their relationship? An inquisitive phlebotomist needs to know. Faced with filling out a questionnaire at his doctor’s office, he finds himself confronted with a question we all face, but rarely in an existentially threatening way.
