The Golden Gate : a novel in verse / by Vikram Seth.

• The world's discussed while friends are eating -- A cache of billets-doux arrive -- A concert generates a meeting -- A house is warmed. Sheep come alive -- Olives are plucked in prime condition -- A cat reacts to competition -- Arrests occur. A speech is made -- Coffee is drunk, and Scrabble played -- A quarrel is initiated -- Vines rest in early winter light -- The Winking Owl fills up by night -- An old affair is renovated -- Friends meditate on friends who've gone. The months go by; the world goes on.

• Written in sonnet form, the novel follows a group of yuppies residing in San Francisco in 1980 when one friend places a personal ad in a local newspaper for her friend, John, and the relationships that result from it.
