Adverbs
Author: Daniel Handler
Two friends, one dying and one lonely; an adolescent's first homosexual stirrings for his sister's boyfriend, and a high school crush that falls painfully short of a movie projected on a grungy screen. A moving and shifting story that explores this most troublesome of emotions, love.

This book sells itself as a novel, but it really a series of short stories in which several characters appear and reappear. Love is at the center of each, whether it be love of a dying friend, love discovered, love lost, love found, love as an idea. Each is cleverly told and with more than a little whimsy and satire on the perils of life, most of it set in San Francisco. Even though each chapter is a story unto itself, you'll want to read them all because this author is spinner of such amazing tales.
