Artie spends his days at a tedious advertising job, finding relief in the corner of New York City he can call his own, even as the queer community is still being ravaged by HIV. But when his birthday celebration brings Artie and his friends to his favorite bar, a chance encounter with Abe, an uptight lawyer and Artie's opposite in almost every way, pushes Artie to want, and to ask for, more for himself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThirty years later, Artie is stunned when Halle and Vanessa, Abe's daughter and ex-wife, announce they are moving across the country. Artie has built a lovely, if small, life, but their departure makes Artie realize that he might be lonelier than he previously thought. When a surprising injury pushes Artie into the hands of GALS, the local center for queer seniors, a rambunctious group of elders insist on taking him under their wing. What follows will open up Artie's world in ways unimaginable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlternating between both timelines, \u003ci\u003eFour Squares \u003c\/i\u003eis an intimate look at what it means to find community at any age and a touching meditation on the aftershocks of both love and grief.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBobby Finger\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Old Place\u003c\/i\u003e, and cohost of the popular celebrity and entertainment podcast, \u003ci\u003eWho?
