The book is narrated in the first person, with the narrator changing in each chapter. Bobby and Jonathon are the main narrators, but several chapters are narrated by Alice (Jonathan's mother) and Clare.

The narrator is thus directly or indirectly involved in the story being told. ...

The movie did not do well at the box office.

Plot

Bobby had grown up in a home in suburban Cleveland where partying and drugs were a recurring theme. He had already witnessed his beloved older brother's death in a home accident and his mother's death by the time he befriends Jonathan, who comes from a sheltered, but loving family. After Bobby finds his father dead, Jonathan's family takes him in. Wikipedia does not yet have an article with this exact name. ...

Bobby and Jonathan become best friends. Closer than brothers, they also experiment sexually. The two eventually lose touch, but meet up again in their twenties in 1980s New York, where Bobby (played by Colin Farrell) moves in with Jonathan (Dallas Roberts) and his eccentric roommate Clare (Robin Wright Penn). Clare had planned to have a baby with Jonathan (now openly gay), but Bobby and Clare become lovers, while Jonathan still has feelings for Bobby.
