Hoping to overcome the everyday pettiness of academic life, young
professor Andy Friedman entertains megalomaniac ideas of success.
Perhaps he will become a charismatic figure like President Hugo
Chavez of Venezuela, leading the anti-imperialist charge against
Washington and George Bush. Or, failing that, Andy might simply
settle for a greater sense of purpose and a settled community as he
moves back to Manhattan from graduate school. Will the larger than
life characters in Andy's life, including a dynamic therapist named
Bob --- who bears an uncanny resemblance to Wolf Blitzer --- and an
off the wall Tibetan lama named Norbu, foot the bill? Will Andy
gain solace from Ninotchka, a snowy white and irrepressible canine
companion descended from the sturdiest Arctic stock? Friedman's
going to need all the help he can get as his classroom becomes
increasingly chaotic and his adventures within the various
subcultures of the East Village get more and more surreal.
