-------------
Imagine a secret society which pairs you with your polar opposite.
You meet regularly.
What would you talk about?
Could you become friends?
Will is bookish, quiet, gay, manning AIDS helplines.
Maxey is loud, a wrestler, a Jock, intent on a military life.
But paired together over dinner, beers, pool games they forge an extraordinary and resilient bond.
We Should Not Be Friends is an account of their odd-couple relationship, its ups and downs, twists and turns, the misunderstandings and the trust built over forty turbulent years.
