Description
In this incisive and darkly humorous novel, a wealthy hedge fund manager abandons his gilded life, embarking on a cross-country bus journey in a desperate search for meaning. Fueled by a potent mix of existential dread and vintage watches, he navigates the American landscape, grappling with the anxieties of his privileged existence and the profound challenges facing his family. Set against the backdrop of a nation on the brink, this timely story explores themes of identity, disillusionment, and the elusive nature of redemption. The author's signature wit and keen social observation bring to life a protagonist adrift in a world he helped shape, yet no longer recognizes.
