Summary
Juxtaposing a trip to his childhood home -- where he has retreated to try to make some sense of his hectic existence in New York City -- with memories of growing up gay in seventies suburbia, Albo creates "Mike Albo." This character's memories are from a fictitious life that's outrageous, hilarious, and embarrassingly real. From a typical suburban childhood to his perpetual search for true love, Albo evokes a poignant, nostalgic past and a vibrant, energetic present. By turns vulnerable and jaded, flamboyant and obsessive, Hornito is full of subversive humor and outrageous irony.
First line
I'm in the car waiting for my parents, parked in the Springfield Plaza with its mock-wood awning and signs lit from behind-Morton's and Color Tile and Baskin-Robbins and Circuit City and Today's Man and a CVS drugstore, where today I had to secretly get the A-200 crab-removal system because I am home for Labor Day weekend with my bag of laundry and everything-is-fine smile.
