Though far better educated than Edward, Brian is also far more callow, convinced that his homosexuality is something he will outgrow. Edward, on the other hand, possesses \"an unproblematic capacity to accept\" both Brian and the unorthodox nature of their love for each other-until one day, at the urging of his wealthy aunt Constance, Brian agrees to be set up with a \"suitable\" young woman named Philippa Archibald . . . Pushed to the point of crisis, Edward flees, volunteering to fight Franco in Spain, where he ends up in prison. And Brian, feeling responsible for Edward's plight, must pursue him across Europe, and into the chaos of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Leavitt\u003c\/b\u003e's fiction includes the collection \u003ci\u003eFamily Dancing\u003c\/i\u003e and the novels \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Language of Cranes\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Body of Jonah Boyd\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Indian Clerk\u003c\/i\u003e (finalist for the PEN\/Faulkner Award and shortlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award), and \u003ci\u003eThe Two Hotel Francforts\u003c\/i\u003e.
