Oh, that's interesting. Now you've got me wracking my brains for examples of books that do a good job of depicting believable friendships. Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove is the first thing that comes to mind. And maybe the friendship between Sammy and Joe in Kavalier and Clay, and the group of friends in Graham Swift's Last Orders. Perhaps also William Maxwell's The Folded Leaf, although there is a certain unexplored erotic element to that friendship, which maybe makes it not quite eligible... Worth noting, perhaps, that all the examples I've come up with are friendships between men--not sure whether that says more about the state of literature and culture, or about my taste in books and characters.
Do you have any favorite books that depict friendships in this way?
