People don't know how to love the ones they love until they
disappear from their lives. As he approaches thirty, Jody Grafton's
career as a singer-songwriter falls apart: he loses his record
deal, his money, his fame-even his desire to create new music.
While he stares at the rubble of his one-hit-wonder musical career,
his mother is diagnosed with lung cancer, his marriage ends
abruptly, and Jody starts drinking heavily to deaden his new
reality. When he hasn't a single reason left to live, he attempts
suicide and ends up in a psych ward where he's prodded with
questions he isn't yet prepared to answer. Amid the tailspin, Jody
receives a phone call from his recently estranged girlfriend and
she has unexpected news: she's pregnant. As a Decade Fades begins
with this phone call. As his twenties twilight, Jody Grafton
grapples with loneliness, depression, lust, and infatuation while
glancing at the mounting wreckage in his rearview. When he can't
fit-or force-the pieces of his life back together, he leaves his
native Ohio to search for answers in the most unlikely of places:
Bed-Stuy Brooklyn.
