This Month’s Book:

These Violent Delights

by Micah Nemerever

2020, 480 pages

When Paul and Julian meet as college freshmen in 1970s Pittsburgh, they are immediately drawn to one another. Paul is sensitive, artistic and agonizingly insecure, incomprehensible to his working-class family. He views the wealthy, charming Julian as his sole intellectual equal. Paul idolizes his friend’s magnetic confidence, but their friendship spirals into an all-consuming intimacy.
