Novel: The Dreyfus Affair

"The Dreyfus Affair: A Love Story" by Peter Lefcourt is about "faggotry and miscegenation." It is quite frankly the most hilarious novel I have ever read. I literally fell off my bed laughing. The plot is simple: The very "straight" Randy Dreyfus, is a star shotstop who is perplex when, in the middle of a pennant race, he falls in love with his second baseman, DJ. Pickett. The novel is a riotous romp (I can't believe I just said that). The fact that it is about sports, makes the novel all the more appealing to me. I won't say anything else, because it is too good to give anything away.

Apparently, there is a casting call out for "The Dreyfus Affair." I've always thought it would make a great movie, and I'm more than a little miffed that I will have no part in it. What's amazing about the "Dreyfus Affair," is that the relationship is between a white man and a black man. So we will finally see a black gay guy in a lead role on screen, even if he is with a white guy. I can't wait for the historic moment when we get to see a loving black gay couple on screen as the leads--"B-Boy Blues" The Movie perhaps? Stranger things have happen--well, maybe not.

Anyway, do yourself a favor and read this novel. Laughter is good for the soul. It is good for the heart. It is as good as a workout for the body. It is good for blood vessels. A belly laugh is equivalent to an internal jog. Humor allows a person to forget about pains such as aches, arthritis, etc. It reduces stress. It's a muscle relaxer. Laughter can provide good cardiac conditioning especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercises. Laugher is the best medicine. Laugher is good for mental health. Laughter feels good-and is good for you (how many things can you say that about?). In short, this love story will add years to your life. Guaranteed or your money back. Happy Reading. La La.
