Kenneth Trachtenberg, the witty and eccentric narrator of More Die
ofHeartbreak, has left his native Paris for the Midwest. He has
come to benear his beloved uncle, the world-renowned botanist Benn
Crader, self-described "plant visionary." While his studies take
him around the world, Benn, a restless spirit, has not been able to
satisfy his longings after his first marriage and lives from affair
to affair and from "bliss to breakdown." Imagining that a settled
existence will end his anguish, Benn ties the knot again, opening
the door to a flood of new torments. As Kenneth grapples with his
own problems involving his unusual lady-friend Treckie, the two men
try to figure out why gifted and intelligent people invariably find
themselves "knee-deep in the garbage of a personal life."
