Description:
A compassionate and hilarious account of a unlikely relationship between a young gentleman and his "ageless" mentor, an eccentric writer--an "Auntie Mame" for the '90s by way of "Harold and Maude."
Selected Reviews:
"If there is a plot..., it is a slim one; if there is closure, it is warm but hesitant. As a novel about acceptance and accomodation, however--about loving oddness for its normal and human self--THE EXTRA MAN is a pleasure and a success."
--Robert Potts, Times Literary Supplement
