A distinctively entertaining novel written with moxie and bolstered by pitch-perfect perspectives.\" Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGabriel Travers knows he's dying; he just can't prove it. Despite his doctor's proclamations to the contrary and rumors of a promising new HIV drug cocktail, all it takes is one glance into the mirror to tell Gabe everything he needs to know. His ass, once the talk of West Hollywood, now looks suspiciously like a Shar-Pei, prompting even more talk around town.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBack in his 20's, life had been so easy. Caught up in the 1980's world of LOVE  MONEY  SEX , Gabe thought he'd have it all. But every effort to better himself ended in self-sabotage, and every attempt at love left him with only a fake number, scrawled on a realtor's notepad.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe only happiness he could remember was in high school, where he'd met Keith, his first love. Only Keith had recognized the goodness within, and knew of the brutal attack Gabe had faced, the effects of which still rule his life today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow almost 40, and with the clock ticking, Gabe begins to finally peel back the layers and tackle his demons - with a little help from the music of the Divine Miss M and his mom's new wife, a country music-loving priest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 11, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755460165920,"sku":"9780983983712","price":43.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/3144adb69e940c9e5e1d436d709eebb2.webp?v=1780059401","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/songs-for-the-new-depression-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
