In his first novel, Christopher Meeks, lecturer in the Master of Professional Writing program at USC College and author of the acclaimed short story collections The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea and Months and Seasons, introduces readers to Edward, a young Minnesotan who is shipped off to a private boys school by his father after Edward’s mother dies. In nine chapters, readers experience Edward’s life from ages 14 to 45 as he stumbles into romance in high school, careens through dorm life in college and becomes swept up in a tornado of love problems as a mini-mart owner in Alabama. Ultimately, he sets his sights on a film career in Los Angeles.
