Publisher Notes
From the author of "The Ice Storm" comes the story of one weekend in the life of a New York publicist--a young man with a stutter, a terminally ill mother, and a drinking problem--who is summoned home to suburban Connecticut, only to find himself confronted by obstacles of comically epic proportions.
Media Reviews
"The language has a jazzy punch and freshness, flawlessly catching the ebb and flow of thought...to illuminate the quiet terrors of suburban life."
