Move from a house to a one-bedroom with a "partner"? What a fruitcake.

But when he moved to a one-bedroom Dupont Circle apartment with a partner who collects large art and architecture books.

I had to do a double-take after reading the article and seeing the uncaptioned photo (post #3) because Dupont Circle "partners" are typically not of the opposite sex. The photo is not of the pair mentioned above, but of a different pair mentioned in the article. It is still undetermined if the bibliopath is more of a fruitcake than you already mentioned.

I will probe no further into the Dupont Circle duo, due to fear of probing retribution.

They're probably used to doubling up.
