Synopsis

"Shed clothing. Shed government. Shed God." So goes the creed of Harold Gomberg, a bombastic, libertarian atheist and nudist with a four-foot bong. Behold a man who's more comfortable exposing his aging frame than his feelings. Gloria Gomberg disapproves of her father's pathological mission of liberation. But should a wine-chugging nervous tic of a human really be judging anyone? And might Gloria's judgment be rendered even more invalid if she's about to marry a weapons manufacturer obsessed with jam bands? Along comes a long Memorial Day weekend, and Gloria has decided to visit her estranged father on Martha’s Vineyard to share the "good news" about her upcoming wedding. The five-day visit begins its grim descent instantly. Family history, brutal weather, and even enraged dogs conspire to tear this father-daughter relationship apart. As for the lives of acquaintances and loved ones around them? Ruined completely. Batten down the hatches! "The Nudist" will take you on a tempestuous journey from the boundaries of the absurd to the center of the naked human heart

À propos de l'auteur

Jonathan Bloom got his Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology in 1999. His dissertation focused on the Psychology of Language. Since then, Jon has spent the past two decades in the tech sector writing the kind of dialogue most writers would never wish to compose: The dialogue between you and machines, including cars, robots, smart speakers, and phones. Whenever a collection of circuits talks back to you, that's his nefarious doing. You're welcome. More importantly, Jon is a husband and father of two. He lives in Maplewood, New Jersey. The Nudist is his second novel.
