All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers: a Novel
“Rice University was just across the street. I staggered along, hugging the jeroboam and feeling slightly guilty. It was obvious to me that if the phone hadn’t rung Jenny Salomea and I would have done something adulterous on her woodblock. I have no real resistance to temptation, drunk or sober. Very few attractive temptations come my way and when they do I almost always yield to them. I can’t smash them away like they were badminton birdies. I just don’t have any moral coordination, as Jenny Sa...lomea well knew.
On the formal quadrangle in front of the library I ran into Sally. She was riding a bicycle. A tall math major I knew slightly was riding another bicycle, right beside her. He was a campus genius, and very smug about it. I had never liked him and I liked him even less when it dawned on me that he was taking a bike ride with Sally. His name was Rick Leonard.
“Hi,” I said. “Where’d you get the bike?”
“Borrowed it,” Sally said. She looked like she was enjoying herself.MoreLess
