ONLY THE GOOD PARTS
  a novel by Daniel Curzon
     (hardback, $25, 430 pp.)


A gay college professor named Marc Brandt arranges to have a child with
a lesbian couple, anonymously. What follows, as shown in letters, faxes,
e-mail, and a journal, are comedy, pain, hedonism, fanaticism, loves,
hatreds, accusations, both clever and cruel deceptions, the paternal vs.
the maternal, the very latest of the modern and the oldest of the human.



DANIEL CURZON is one of the principal gay writers to walk the minefields
of literary and social criticism to make it easier for those who have
followed. His works include the landmark novel Something You Do in the
Dark (1971), The World Can Break Your Heart (1984), Superfag (1996) and
Not Necessarily Nice: stories (1998) as well as the plays My Unknown Son
(Circle Rep Lab, New York, 1987) and 1001 Nights at the House of
Pancakes (San Francisco, 1998). He has also written and published
non-gay fiction and plays. His plays, both gay and non-gay--some winning
contests--have been produced in several cities.
