title

The Bucolic Plague

fullDescription

A happy series of accidents and a doughnut-laden escape upstate take Josh Kilmer-Purcell and his partner, Brent Ridge, to the doorstep of the magnificent (and fabulously for sale) Beekman Mansion. And so begins their transformation from uptight urbanites into the two-hundred-year-old-mansion-owning Beekman Boys. Suddenly Josh-a full-time New Yorker with a successful advertising career-and Brent find themselves weekend farmers, surrounded by nature's bounty and an eclectic cast: roosters who double as a wedding cover band; Bubbly, the bionic cat; and a herd of goats, courtesy of their new caretaker, Farmer John. The Bucolic Plague is a tart and sweet, touching and laugh-out-loud funny story about goats, mud, homemade soap, approaching middle age, and finding new depths of love and commitment wherever you live.

reviews

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: A successful urban couple accidentally buys a rural estate and tries on weekends to make the place into a self-supporting farm while keeping their 9-to-5's in Manhattan. Both Martha Stewart and Oprah are heavily implicated; theirs is a dream of aspiration shared by many Americans, if different in details. Kilmer-Purcell, who has enjoyed success as a memoirist, a drag queen, and a high-powered ad exec, has a stylish wit, and he artfully moves his story from the shared fantasy to some harsh realities. There is much charm, real love, and wisdom here. Johnny Heller rushes his delivery ("had to" is always "hadda"), but you probably won't care. And when you're done, rush to Beekman1802.com for the author's strawberry galette recipe. It's hilarious. B.G. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
