Overview

Brewster North witnesses his mother’s madness but misses her suicide; searches frantically for enlightenment in the Poconos and zipless sex in India; suffers family ennui in Rhode Island and a nervous breakdown in Amsterdam. And as Gray narrates his hero’s freefall, he confirms his stature as one of our funniest, most eccentric, and engaging storytellers.

Reviews
"Quintessential Gray, unique in [its] rueful blend of curiosity, self-mockery and panic."

– The New York Times Book Review

"Beautifully written, with all the visually organic wit of Gray's best monologue writing, as well as...emotional power [and] loopy nobility." – Newsday

"An intimate, casual voice, capable of discussing anything from pornographic films to Chekhov's 'Sea Gull, ' from acid trips to family holidays, with lightly ironic candor. One finishes the book impressed by how readily Gray's narrative voice transfers to the page."

– The New York Times
