Instead, because he relates his bizarre adventures in the boy-toy trade with dark wit and considerable compassion, it proves to be that rare walk on the wild side you can thoroughly enjoy and not hate yourself for in the morning. The frank descriptions of his "dates" range from wickedly funny (two women hi ..."

"“This is Braddy's room. His real name was Bradley, but when he was a baby he
could only say Braddy and I guess it just stuck. He wanted to go to UCLA; that
was his dream. And he was a very good athlete. Golf, tennis, baseball. Are you
