"Darkly inventive. . . . Graziano's grim allegory interrogates human existence with its visceral, sensuous description."— "Not a word is wasted in this masterpiece . . . the finest in American literature."— "A uniquely human story that proves humorous as well as thoughtful. Solid and very highly recommended."— "A relatively short book, but its heart is huge."— A man dying of cancer wanders naked into Central Park and embarks on a twisted, fetishistic, hilarious journey toward a deeper understanding of life. A story of vulnerability, brashness, and the universal need to find some comfort and philosophy before the journey ends.
