It is a strange time in Justin's life. He is suffering from PTSD after witnessing two friends murdered in a terrorist attack. His mother is dead, having seen her accidental decapitation. His husband appears to be losing passion for their marriage. A shifting in relationships seems to be seeping into his group of quirky, witty friends. To top it all off, Justin is on the verge of turning 30.
KEEPING GLORIA SWANSON strikes me as a stream of consciousness novel. The story unfolds with various detours and tangents that ultimately give insight into Justin and those within his orbit. Author Mark Albro fills the story with wit, style and pathos as we experience Justin careening towards his destiny in the scary, romantic, and sometimes superficial world around him.
In conclusion, if you are in the mood for a mixture of tragedy and humor, then KEEPING GLORIA SWANSON by Mark Albro may be the book for you!
