In the summer of 2007, Gus Marcantonio, a retired longshoreman and card-carrying member of the CPUSA (the American Communist Party), summons his children to the family's Brooklyn brownstone for a series of shocking announcements. As Gus's kids attempt to address a profound crisis in their difficult father's difficult life, their own spectacularly messy problems - and spectacularly messed-up lovers, spouses and exes - follow them home. 'The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide...' explores revolutionary versus evolutionary change, the history of Italian-American radicalism, sex, sexual identity, prostitution, parenting, politics, theology, real estate, unions of all kinds, and debts both repaid and unpayable.
