A staggering, unnerving story collection about the lost members of the Boomer Generation-chronic underachievers at work and love whose malaise is tempered by booze and cars. They seek solace in each other's company via weekend trips and wine-fuelled dinner parties when not conducting interventions or fixing their cars; through moments of seeming indifference, humor, and false bravado, their demeanors mask a disquieting rage at how they've lost their way and a burning, shattering desire to try to find it again. Dennis E. Bolen is a former parole officer and the author of six previous works of fiction in Canada.
