This is one of the most original books I've ever read. It's the story of an African-American gay man's longing to have a child -- and he ultimately gets his wish through the "fuzzy science" of the future: He becomes pregnant. At times interesting in its take on a man's perspective on pregnancy, and at times just humorous and kind of silly, this is definitely a unique narrative about love and longing and one man's need to complete his family.
