World-renowned concert violinist Zoltan Zany has been sitting in
his living room armchair for an entire year, contemplating-with the
help of his unconventional friends and Austrian housekeeper-the
future direction of his life. Meanwhile, his etymologist son,
Attila, along with an israeli linguist and archaeologist named
isaac Mashugi, is traveling-in search of the first word uttered by
Man-to eastern turkey's Mt.Ararat, where they believe this original
Ur-word can be found by discovering Noah's ark. They are joined
there by the elder Zany. They discover the word and, on a quest for
further adventure, return to America to launch a new kind of travel
business-Posthumous tours, specializing in dead customers and
raising funds by selling reincarnation insurance. Wildly off-beat,
whimsical, humorous, and philosophical, here is an adventure story
to engross the mind, warm the heart, and quicken the imagination.
