People in Trouble, indeed. This follows a woman, her husband, and her lesbian lover in a most timultuous time in their relationships with themselves and each other. Each chapter is told from rotating perspectives. Though it is all in third person, the narration is clearly colored by each character's worldview and biases, and at times include touches of surrealism.  We see each of the many characters faults and eventual growth (some more than others). This is set in late 80s NYC, deeply affected by AIDS, drugs, and capitalist.

A lot of this is about political apathy and questions about boundaries and when to put yourself first, as well as clear themes about corperatization and gentrification. While the other novels by Schulman that I have read (Rat Bohemia and Empathy) incorporate a lot of details about conditions of the city, like many houseless, drug abuse, and AIDS, this is the first one that has talked about activism and the experience of being in spaces where people are dying so directly (certainly it was central to the other works, but this is probably the most direct and less surreal of the three). 

I have lots of thoughts, especially reading this alongside her other works, but I'll save those for perhaps something that isn't a book review for just one of them.
