Publisher's Synopsis
In the crushing complacency of suburbia, mid-life crises pop in unannounced on men's lives. For one man, it takes an impromptu act of vandalism to make him aware of his own existence. Walking home on a chilly Friday night, he stumbles on a bottle of horseradish and mindlessly hurls it through the window of a popular store selling clothes to over-sexed tweens. This one tiny, out-of-character impulse turns his life upside-down. The story is told by this same nam, an endearingly wide-eyed and entirely nameless narrator, to what he regards as the perfect audience: a comatose college friend. Yet, our narrator's most unique quality lies simply in his glowing love for his wife, the girl of his dreams whom he met in college and still can't quite believe he managed to marry.
