To add to Hank's problems, his transgender boss at the Strand Bookstore is in love with him. But I'm straight, Hank protests. And I'm a woman, Joey insists.
The odd intermingling of these vibrant characters makes for an unforgettable story. Hank needs to come to terms with what happened to him in Vietnam. Karen, the would-be mother, needs to clarify the difference between fantasy and reality. Joey, the sanest of the three, despite or maybe because of her gender mix-up, shares her wisdom and tries, somewhat unsuccessfully, to hold them all on course. Secrets are revealed as a twisting plot erupts in a fiery conclusion.
Offspring is a story of longings, thwarted dreams, and the search for truth of family, and our fervent need to belong.
