Cockloft

by Kyle Thomas Smith

Overview

"Seinfeld meets Sedaris in the Snapchat Age."
- Jill Dearman, The Great Bravura

Whether they're trembling before an invasive squirrel, giving the straight dope to an errant call-girl or enduring a #MeToo moment with a handsy waiter on their Roman honeymoon, Kyle and Julius are just the kind of gay married couple who didn't see the 2016 election coming.

In this variegated book of vignettes, flash scenes and personal essays, award-winning author Kyle Thomas Smith documents the peculiarities of life in his home, his borough, his chiropractor's office and these times.
