A profoundly disturbing novel that ruthlessly dissects American
life in the late 1960s, from the author of The White Album and The
Year of Magical Thinking. Benny called for a round of Cuba Libres
and I gave him some chips to play for me and went to the ladies'
room and never came back. Somewhere out beyond Hollywood,
hollowed-out actress Maria Wyeth's life plays out in a numbing
routine of perpetual freeway driving. In her early thirties,
divorced from her husband, dislocated from friends, anesthetized to
pain and please, Wheth is a woman who has run out of both desires
and motives - the epitome of a generation made ill by too much
freedom.
