Book excerpt: DIVDIVThe raucously sweet sequel to At the Shores/divDIV Jerry Engels is in his junior year at Penn State. He lives with his fraternity brothers, flunks his classes, lifts weights, and thinks about women—constantly. Insatiable, Jerry devours the Kinsey Report in full, and sets out to test its findings wherever possible, grilling his brothers on their homosexual experiences, getting crabs from a prostitute, posing in the nude for art classes, and romancing a good friend’s little sister. Yet Jerry is not a rake but a carnal saint, delighting in life in a careless, grateful manner. When Jerry does find love, this remarkable comic novel of lust becomes a romance./div/div
