The author of SOMETHING MISSING returns with another hilarious and
sneakily profound tale about a man whose behavior is truly odd, but
also oddly relatable.
" "
Milo Slade, a thirty-three year old home healthcare aide, is
witnessing the rapid dissolution of his three-year marriage to a
polished, high-powered attorney named Christine. Though Milo
doesn't quite know the root of his marital problems, he inevitably
blames himself, or more specifically, he faults the demands his
obsessive compulsive personality place upon him--the need to open a
jar of Smuckers grape jelly or sing 99 Luftballons in front of an
audience, to name just a couple.
Yet Christine is still none the wiser about these inexplicable
quirks as Milo has painstakingly hidden them from her and everyone
else for years. No one knows the true--and in his mind more
insidious--Milo, and such is the root of his profound loneliness,
especially now that he and Christine are living apart during a
trial separation.
Then one day Milo stumbles across a video camera and tapes, left
behind in a park. He watches the first tape, which is a heartfelt
confessional by a young woman who begins to reveal her secrets,
starting small at first, and finally revealing that she blames
herself for a tragic death of a friend. But not all the details add
up and Milo is struck with the urge to free the sweet confessor
from her guilt. He is, after all, an expert in keeping secrets...
In typical screwball fashion, Milo sets out on a cross-country
journey to crack the case, but quickly gets sidetracked as his
un-ignorable demands call. But it is during these sidetracks that
the true meaning of his adventure takes shape. Milo is weird, but
as he discovers, so is everyone else. UNEXPECTEDLY, MILO is a
humorous and touching novel about finding oneself, embracing the
journey, and, unexpectedly, love.
