Über diesen Titel
Meet Henry Harrison: former actor, failed but brilliant playwright, and a well-seasoned escort for New York City's women of means. He dances alone to Ethel Merman records, second-acts operas, and performs his scrappy life with the dignity befitting a self-styled man of the world. What can this ageless Don Quixote of the Upper East Side have to offer a young gentleman such as Louis? What, indeed.
Well, the answer lies somewhere between the needs of an irascible mentor and the education of his eager apprentice, between cocktails on the Upper East Side and an even more intoxicating treat along the secret fringes of Times Square, and between friendship and longing.

Kritikerstimmen
"A miracle....This novel is not to be missed." (Booklist)
"A sure-footed exploration of sexual confusion and a loopily elegant, surprisingly moving urban comedy of manners." (The New York Times Book Review)
"By updating the moral education of a young gentleman, Ames has written a Bildungsroman for the end of our century." (The Washington Post)
"Ames has the one thing Fitzgerald lacked: a sense of humor...The Extra Man wins us over with its sheer energy and good will, its confidence in the ability of its own humor and intelligence to widen our ideas about the possibilities of love, and about the permissible range of inner and outer lives to which today's young gentleman may properly aspire. (The New York Observer)
