A teenage boy, Charlie, moves away from home to become a writer but
soon finds himself tortured with conflict over whether to return to
a "normal" life with his friends or continue all alone. As the tear
between emotional and intellectual fulfillment intertwines with the
slowly dawning realization that he's growing up, Charlie reveals
portions of previous writings: most notably a piece on the
fictitious author, C.N. Williams. After introducing us to
Williams's wonderland Charlie's own reality begins to blur. The
line between inspiration and imagination is lost, and we watch as
our hero and his main character struggle to find balance--Both
taunted by genius and constantly at odds with time."It was
something breathtaking--the strange feeling that for half a second
one had experienced, with all his senses, the comprehension of
infinity. And then it was over. It had all taken place in a measure
of time too small to imagine..."
