Synopsis
All Brewster wanted was a vacation, but he wouldn't give himself a break. On a Rhode Island beach, aged six, he has a vision of Bali that haunts him still. Racked with guilt over his mother's suicide, Brewster wanders aimlessly, confounded by life's choices. By the author of "Monster in a Box".

Présentation de l'éditeur
Having detailed the agonies of writing a book in his monologue Monster in a Box, Spalding Gray now gives us the monster itself: a convulsively funny, unexpectedly moving novel about a man eternally searching for a moment of protected pleasure even as he is permanently incapable of finding it.
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. In the process he emerges as a hilariously complex everyman. And as Gray narrates his hero's free fall, he confirms his own stature as one of our funniest, most eccentric, and most engaging storytellers.
