About This Item
Berkeley, CA:: Counterpoint,, (2011). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. Fourth novel by this highly praised California author. "Mark Perdue has so many problems that when he starts feeling chest pains on the tarmac at LAX, it dawns on him that a heart attack might be an efficient way out. Once an eminent physicist, he hasnt published or had a new idea in a decade. The younger professors at UC Berkeley pity him, and hes taken to using the back staircases to avoid their looks, which all seem to be labeling him dead weight. At home, his wife has been inconsolable since the recent late-term abortion of their afflicted fetus. And he cant deny it any longer he is decidedly losing his mental faculties to chronic Lyme disease. Now Mark is visiting Los Angeles with his ambitious daughter, Carlotta, so she can attend a Celebrity Fantasy Vacation, in which she is promised three days and two nights of the rock star lifestyle." SIGNED on the title page. 219 pp.
