I found this book in the belongings of my best friend who passed away in Nov. of 2006. She kept it around as a joke; she was dying of cancer. I read the book this January, to see what it was all about, noting that it was authored by one of my faves - A.M. Homes. It was ubsurdly unique timing. The book saved my life in a sense, at least saved my spirit. It tells the story of a man lost in the day-to-day routine of his scheduled life, a man who long ago set his feelings aside about things. It is the story of his unraveling and all the people he meets along the way and their unravelings, embracing the beauty and messiness of such a process, reminding us of the power of humanity. Random wayward folk become friends and lovers in this tale of human connection. I found the book to be inspiring, emotional, and funny. I recommend it to anyone who's questioning their existence, the meaning of it all, or who just wants to vicariously live the experience of coming to terms with it all. It was a rockin' book!
