Description
An advertising man searches for meaning in this "fascinating dissection of the media world we live in . . . A thought-provoking road-trip tale" (Chicago Tribune).Longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize
In his mid-thirties, Joe works as an advertising copywriter for a slick New York agency. But he feels disillusioned with his life, and finds himself experiencing dreams about a mysterious man, seeing him on the street, hearing his voice. Joe decides to listen. So he waits on his stoop, day and night, for instructions.
A local reporter takes notice, and soon Joe has become a media sensation, the center of a storm. When the Man tells Joe to "go west," he does. What follows is a compelling and visceral story about the struggle to find something more in life, told in two interwoven threads--Joe at the beginning of his journey in Manhattan, and at the end of it as he finds new purpose on a ranch in Montana under the endless sky.
"A strangely engrossing, meticulously written allegory of the present moment." --Douglas Coupland, author of Worst. Person. Ever.
