Two profane, 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. Guided by a tormented mentor more than twice his age and a young woman he clumsily alienates, 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.
