We have Nathan living in CA in a small apt with his lover an artist, Hoyt. Almost reads like a mystery with Hoyt looking for the killernof the local communist party. But a wild cast of characters as well. A drunken agent, an effeminate neighbor, another alcoholic writer. Good book. Is interesting that the 2nd in the series is actually chronologically first.

"When Hoyt Stubblefield ambles into the cavernous bookstore on Hollywood Boulevard where nineteen-year-old Nathan Reed works, his good looks and wry Texas charm hold the boy spellbound. Within a week, Nathan has packed up his few belongings and moved in with Hoyt - into his upstairs rooms in a rickety old house, and into his bed." "And so Nathan embarks on the happiest adventure of his young life, and the most ominous. For Hoyt inhabits not just the world of ideas, books, music, and paintings, which Nathan eagerly shares with him, but a secret world as well, a world of danger Hoyt forbids the young man to enter." "Against the vividly evoked background of shabby side-street Hollywood in the 1940s, Joseph Hansen draws on his own real-life memories to people Living Upstairs with a large cast of colorful, outrageous, tragic, and hilarious characters from those far-off times." "On a deeper level, this is a love story about lies, dangerous acquaintances, and the betrayal of innocence. Its often sunny hours are shadowed by masks, mirror images, and merged identities, by murky politics and paintings so dark their naked sexuality is almost hidden. Last, and first, it is haunted by an unsolved murder."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
