It's 1986 and Baby is the freshest-faced, starriest-eyed young kid in all of New York City, straight off the bus from Wisconsin. Adeline is his rich-art-school-kid saviour with a bizarre transatlantic drawl and a spare bed. Riotously funny, provocative but tender, The Future Won't Be Long is a sprawling elegy to New York, and to the friendships that have the power to change - and save - our lives. A provocative novel about friendship, sex, art, and ambition.
