Abstract

At the beginning of this novel, Tim, a computer programmer in his early twenties living near Chicago, leaves his girlfriend Gina and the mechanical life he's been living with her and, following the model of the adult bildungsroman hero, begins a search not for his destiny but for the sort of life that will make him happy, in the process becoming less of an overgrown adolescent and more like a grown-up.
