What-to-Do? a novel is a work made up of a number of mostly
inter-linked chapters, all of which bear, in one way or another, on
the question, What are we to do with our lives? One character who
reappears at different points in the book is a middle-aged rural
widow whose son has mentioned to her that no one ever seems to have
written out - spelled out - all the numbers from one to one
million. Alone and with time on her hands, she sets out to do just
that. Another character is a southern black man who served in World
War II. Upon his return home, he builds a personal library of
books, an act that wins him praise and also a good deal of trouble.
Yet another character is a Native American man from the southwest
who, from his teens onward, has attempted to heed a terrible vision
he has received from a Nighthawk, only later in his life finding
something more positive to do. Other characters appear as they "do"
one thing or another.
