...aging Broadway dancer Joey Breaux and Andrew Tan, his boyfriend of 14 years. And what a catty, campy, heady world it is. At the beginning of the novel, Andrew and Joey are as married as a gay couple in America can be. Joey is an arty, tempestuous, hot-blooded Cajun and Andrew a sweet, meek, well-organized Asian American. Joey, at the make-or-break moment of his ballet career, wins a prestigious grant to study Balinese dance and leaves Manhattan's West Village for the island with Andrew in tow, hoping to create a ballet that can make...
...Like the Cajun numskull in 1998's The Waterboy, Sandler's character in Punch-Drunk Love, Barry Egan, is prone to violence but hates himself for it.

Mellow Beatles covers provided background noise as excited groupies mulled about, unruffled by the delay and fraught with anticipation. When the band finally made their way onstage, the audience was assaulted by a frenzy of percussion and a primal howling...
...Masters’ Residence. Bossert fondly recalls serving tea to labor leader Cesar Chavez, pointing actor Robert Redford to the bathroom and watching his father (“in a tux and bare feet”) chat with Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart over a bowl of Cajun crawdads. Heimert says that often famous figure skaters stayed in Eliot House during the Evening With Champions benefit show...
