โฆ Synopsis
Ed is punchy, unemployed, and on the wrong side of thirty. After his exasperated wife, Victoria, leaves him, Ed finds consolation where he has always found it, in his own rich and eccentric imagination. Pursued by the demons of his own obsession, Ed embarks on a quixotic quest to find Victoria. As he prowls the citys parking garages and motel strips, Ed begins a journey back into his past and is forced most reluctantly to confront the web of lies and self-deceptions he has woven to keep reality at bay until even his fantasies start to turn against him. Keenly observant, humane, and darkly comic, My Present Age is an irresistible story about what happens when an Everyman becomes a casualty of modern life.From the Trade Paperback edition.
