Surface Tension - Pasta blanda

Surface Tension spans nearly six decades, emphasizing the protagonistas late teens and early twenties. The book unashamedly sends the message that most of us fall in love several times during our lives; sex is viewed as a natural phenomenon and the enjoyment of intimacy a normal consequence of falling in love. The protagonist of Surface Tension lifts the weight of life from near his ankles, hoisting it to his chest amid conflict, until he finally raises it over his head in an attempt to find a meaningful, loving relationship. He risks engaging in too many experiences, trying desperately to stay out of trouble. Through it all, he rights a few wrongs amid the influence of ballsy women and a sexual revolution that digs its claws deep into his essence as he comes of age.
