\nSummary provided by the publisher:
\nIn 1992\, on his thirtieth birt hday\, Artie Anderson meets the man who will change his life. Artie spends his days at a tedious advertising job\, finding relief in the corner of N ew York City he can call his own\, even as the queer community is still be ing ravaged by HIV. But when his birthday celebration brings Artie and his friends to his favorite bar\, a chance encounter with Abe\, an uptight la wyer and Artie&rsquo\;s opposite in almost every way\, pushes Artie to wan t\, and to ask for\, more for himself.
\nThirty years later\, Artie is stunned when Halle and Vanessa\, Abe&rsquo\;s daughter and ex-wife\, an nounce they are moving across the country. Artie has built a lovely\, if s mall\, life\, but their departure makes Artie realize that he might be lon elier than he previously thought. When a surprising injury pushes Artie in to the hands of GALS\, the local center for queer seniors\, a rambunctious group of elders insist on taking him under their wing.
\nAlternatin g between both timelines\, Four Squares is an intimate look at wh at it means to find community at any age. With humor and compassion\, it h onors the enduring power of queer friendship\, its history\, and how essen tial it is to keep those stories alive.
