Farrell Covington and the Limits of Style by Paul Rudnick Book Summary

“A case study in elegant, honest tragicomedy…by the genuinely hilarious Paul Rudnick” (Gary Shteyngart, New York Times bestselling author) that follows the decades-long, rule-breaking romance between the son of one of America’s wealthiest families and a middle-class aspiring author.

Devastatingly handsome and insanely rich, Farrell Covington is capable of anything and impossible to resist. He’s a clear-eyed romantic, an aesthete but not a snob, self-indulgent yet wildly generous. As the son of one of the country’s most powerful and deeply conservative families, the world could be his. But when he falls for Nate Reminger, an aspiring writer from a nice Jewish family in Piscataway, New Jersey, the results are passionate and catastrophic.

Together, the two embark on a unique romance that spans half a century. They are inseparable—except for the many years when they are apart. Moving from the ivy-covered bastion of Yale to New York City, Los Angeles, and eventually all over the world, Farrell and Nate experience the tremendous upheaval and social change of the last fifty years. From the freedom of gay life in 1970s Manhattan to the Hollywood closet, the AIDS epidemic, and the profound strides of the LGBTQ+ movement, this witty and moving novel shows how the world changes around us while we’re busy doing other things.

Written with “engaging wit, side-eyed perceptiveness, and barbed elan” (Michael Chabon), this modern classic proves that style has its limits, love does not.

Couldn’t get into it. I really don’t like to abandon a book but I did on this one. I held in there until 1/3 of the way in. I was hoping for something to grab me. I think that I didn’t find the plot very plausible or the characters very appealing. I wish that I could rate this higher than two stars, but more me, that’s as high as I could go.

An enjoyable, if trite, read. If you don’t mind a lot of graphic sex and are looking for a page-turner that doesn’t tax your brain, Farrell Covington is the book for you. I had high hopes based on the early chapters of this book. The protagonists are finding their way in the world of gay men in the early ‘80s. But as the book progresses, most of the characters morph from edgy to stereotypical, and the plot takes decidedly predictable turns. Given the subject, I hoped for a little more realism and depth of thought, even though the book was advertised as a light read. A perfect book with which to while away a few hours on the beach or a long plane ride, but nothing that you’ll remember (except maybe some of the sex) for very long after you’ve read it.

Farrell is my Hall Pass. I couldn’t put this book down - it made me laugh & cry - but mostly I fell in love with Farrell & his love of life - thank you for writing such an incredible story!

Farrell Forever!. It’s seldom that you find and fall in love with a book that truly helps explain your place in an often confusing world. And give you some really joy about it. This book does. Part Candide, part Auntie Mame. I loved every page. Thank you for such an enjoyable and heartwarming tour through my and Farrell’s lifetime.
