Book description
A hilarious and heartbreaking father-son road movie of a novel.
Spencer Ludwig, idealist and filmmaker, is making one of his regular
duty visits from London to New York City to tend to his declining but
still fearsome father. Driving back from one of their doctors'
appointments, Spencer decides not to take the turn to his father's
apartment: instead, they hit the road. Ahead of them will be an
emotional ride taking in police and prostitutes, film festivals and
gambling in Atlantic City, as father and son try to make sense of each
other's lives and hearts, and their own. To reach, Spencer hopes, a
suitably cinematic conclusion. David Flusfeder is the author of five
previous novels: 'Man Kills Woman' (1993), 'Like Plastic' (1996), which
won the Encore Award, 'Morocco' (2001), 'The Gift' (2003) and The Pagan
House (2007).
