    Summary

    James Buchanan Barnes, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition seems to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and has lived nearly thirty-six years in the the world with very little to distress or vex him.

    Just kidding! Professor James Barnes, known as “Bucky” to his family and closest friends, tenured associate professor of English at NYU and recognized expert on Jane Austen and late 18-century/Regency literature, may be handsome and clever, but he’s certainly not rich. He has a comfortable home, that’s true - a bijou two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn Heights with a long-term lease - and he’d love to live there by himself, but even tenured NYU professors can’t afford that luxury.

    So he needs a roommate, and this is where life is distressing and vexing him.
