Sinopse

In 'Joseph and His Friend,' Bayard Taylor weaves a poignant narrative exploring themes of friendship, identity, and social prejudices in 19th-century America. The novel employs a rich and lyrical prose style, blending romance with a deep psychological insight into its characters' lives. Set against the backdrop of an evolving society, Taylor contrasts the conventional expectations of masculinity with the nuanced, intimate emotional landscape of his protagonists, challenging the prevailing norms of his time. This exploration not only enhances the literary depth of the work but also aligns it with the emerging discussions on gender and friendship in American literature. Bayard Taylor, an influential poet, and travel writer, drew from his own experiences and observations in crafting 'Joseph and His Friend.' His extensive travels and engagement with diverse cultures fostered a keen awareness of social issues, particularly those affecting marginalized communities. Taylor's own struggles with societal norms, alongside his educational background, equipped him with the insight necessary to navigate the complexities of human relationships and emotional authenticity, making this novel both a personal and universal exploration of connection and understanding. This compelling work is recommended for readers interested in a sophisticated examination of friendship and societal constraints. Taylor's lyrical storytelling and depth of character offer a rich tapestry that invites reflection on the human experience. Engaging and rich in context, 'Joseph and His Friend' is a must-read for those who appreciate literature that challenges the conventions of its time.

    Nate, captain of the Washington Golden Eagles, was going to spend as much time with his best friend, Ryan, as he could that off season, even if that meant going to a tattoo appointment. His ex-fiancée (and mom's best friend's kid) was marrying the man she had cheated on Nate with, and Nate's mom told him skipping it was not an option. 
     
    Collin mostly had his life together. He loved tattooing. He'd built an amazing queer found family in Madison, and had a car that usually started. But he was also restless. 
     
    When Ryan suggested Nate take Collin to the wedding as his date to stir up some drama, it was the perfect chance for both of them. By the end, maybe they both would make a friend. Neither of them were expecting the sexual chemistry that sparked between them the entire weekend. 
     
    Nate thought he was straight. But if he was, why did Collin make him feel this way? Collin was helping him explore his sexuality, but they were keeping things casual. Nate had to leave Wisconsin to go play hockey at the end of the summer. Feelings would ruin the fun they were having. But it's never that simple.
