In this engrossing, humorous, but deceptively important novel, the
psychiatrist-author takes on the subject of romance in its many forms:
falling in love, the beauty of the world, memory, and the creative
impulse for good and evil. The main character, a successful and bored
romance writer, is suddenly thrust into an emotional tailspin which
leads to adventures worthy of Don Quixote and a dramatic and satisfying
conclusion.
