How I Paid for College - first US edition
by Marc Acito - signed
Sub-titled, "A Novel of Sex, Theft, Friendship & Musical Theater", this book
finds humor and adventure mainly in those topics that would most appeal to a
stereotypically gay audience: musicals, piano bars, and sex, sex, sex. All kinds
of interesting scenarios arise when Ed Zanni, a bisexual high-school drama club
star from suburban New Jersey, is denied tuition to Julliard by his well-to-do
father and wicked step mother. Fortunately his close friends, Paula (ample of
body, unlucky in love), Kelly (Ed's cheerleader girlfriend), Doug (his football
player love interest), Natie (a nerd with a gift for white-collar crime) and
Ziba, (a regal, Middle Eastern beauty), are very willing to engage in fraud,
forgery, and blackmail to help him pay for drama school . . .
Book has bay-green boards quarter-bound with black cloth; the spine is stamped
in lavender. Signed by the author on the title page, who added, "Be Splendid!"
