Greetings from Below, a collection of linked short stories,
chronicles the life of Nick Danze, a young copy editor who suffers
from several "fixations" he believes are associated with some kind
of sexual addiction. By day, Nick works for a weekly trade magazine
called Footwear Today, while at night he frequents the various
striptease bars, massage parlors, and swing clubs of Las Vegas and
San Francisco, the two cities in which he lives throughout the
book. Most of the stories are set in Las Vegas, where Nick was
raised and where his widowed mother still resides, her emotional
constitution slowly unraveling as she mourns Nick's recently
deceased father and struggles with addictions of her own: to
shopping, gambling, and pure cane sugar. The stories set in San
Francisco deal mainly with Nick's longtime relationship with his
girlfriend, Annie, whom he loves but with whom he isn't in love.
Ultimately, through a series of episodes that spans more than
twenty-five years, Nick's life is changed forever when he is forced
to confront not just his own predicaments, but his mother's as
well.
