The Krottkey Chronicles

A bromance before bromance was cool The Krottkey Chronicles is the story of seven young people living in Austin in the early 1980s. As they deal with the pleasures and pitfalls of philosophy sexual exploration and a bout of dismally unsuccessful left-wing politics Duncan McCaffrey and his buddies dance fight and fall just a little in love. A funny wistful story about growing up and reaching out The Krottkey Chronicles is for anyone who's ever felt in the words of Bruce Springsteen so weak I just wanna explode. And then did. From The Krottkey Chronicles: First the tongue. Then her throat. Then her breasts firm and cool in the nighttime air and Duncan had the sensation the roof was rising and that he was being lifted closer to heaven with every soft inhalation. Then their t-shirts were off and then there was a moment just one where they came pretty close to rolling off the roof. Duncan couldn’t have said what caused it—how he lost his balance or what he was thinking or whether there was any single precipitating factor at all. Probably the effect was cumulative. Probably it was a byproduct of the sweet smell of Nona’s skin beneath a residue of sweat and cigarette smoke of the sounds she made in the small of her throat of the touch of her hand on the nape of his neck. He simply lost track of himself. Then he was over her completely and the hand he’d planted slipped and they were sliding down the roof toward Shoal Creek.
