Two profane, illuminating, humorously tragic days in the life of an anonymous, young man in the city. Growing up in the suburbs, he hung with the freaks and the geeks. Now older, he's on his own in an urban, pre-programmed society in which the poorest among us are still ten times wealthier than hundreds of millions of people on the other side of the globe. Guided by a tormented mentor more than twice his age, a young woman he clumsily alienates and the substitute for need which we call "desire," the young man learns more than he cares to in the 48 hours we're allowed to follow him. History, religion, myth and American pop culture provide the foundation for this raucous, controversial new novel.
