Four Squares

"Shortly after his 60th birthday, Artie Anderson finds himself volunteering at a local queer senior center. While Artie thinks he’ll be on the sidelines making popcorn for movie nights, he falls into a new community of friends who remind him that tight-knit friendships aren’t just for young people. As the book alternates between two time lines, the magic (and sometimes heartbreak) of Artie’s friendships is beautifully rendered. Author Bobby Finger is particularly adept at capturing sparky dialogue that only happens between good friends and brings alive the warm feeling only community can bring a person."
