Troubled by an inability to find any meaning in his life, the
25-year-old narrator of this deceptively simple novel quits
university and eventually arrives at his brother's New York
apartment. In a bid to discover what life is all about, he writes
lists. He becomes obsessed by time and whether it actually matters.
He faxes his meteorologist friend. He endlessly bounces a ball
against the wall. He befriends a small boy who lives next door. He
yearns to get to the bottom of life and how best to live it. Funny,
friendly, enigmatic and frequently poignant - superbly naive.
