Bad Machinery by John Allison for October 03, 2018

Sonny boy looks a bit at sea.

Is Jack brushing up on his Camus to impress the French girls at school?

A simple pop of the coat collar and voila — a pretty good rendition of Camus. Minus the cigarette.

Very briefly, if it is the same story I’m thinking of (and it’s been awhile even if it is, so…)

Oh, my. Wearing scarves and trench coats and reading Camus. Better watch out, boys. Next thing you know, you’ll be smoking Gauloises, sporting berets, and sipping espressos.

Ooo boy… skittish around one girl, and now there are three.
