출판사 설명
It's the early ’60s in Washington, D.C. — the Camelot years. Conservative. Law abiding. Morally restrictive. No sex unless you’re married — not with a nice girl, anyway. At twenty-five, Rodney Brody is seeking answers to a problem he can’t admit he has. The girls he meets are off-limits because of their religion or strict upbringing, while the difficulties he encounters with the available ones make him question his sexuality. He's ready to throw in the towel and admit he’s just a guy on the outside, watching everyone else have fun at the party.
On the local theater scene, Rodney meets Meg Harman, a confident young woman who leads a liberated lifestyle ahead of the times, while harboring a damaging secret of her own. In a nuanced narrative as stylish as a Mad Men plot, Rodney and Meg struggle to resolve their problems despite the strictures society places on them. Can two outsiders provide the answers each is looking for?

A compliment of lovers
Great book! I truly enjoyed reading this book. Often, I found myself unaware of my surroundings. It was as if I were transported into the book and within the events as they unfolded.
In short, I would say that this was a book of discovery; discovery for Rodney and Meg and in turn, a discovery for me as the reader. There is a frankness and openness that is very refreshing. It afforded me the same freedoms to review my life and experiences.
It is well written, with imagery that is easily transmitted to the reader. I would highly recommend this book if you are reader willing to be led on a journey.
I routinely give talks and after reading "A Compliment of Lovers," a desire has been awakened in me to write a book.
Thanks for the journey, Mr. Schecter.
