The cover drawing of a man’s robe accurately portrays the life of the main character, 20-something Eli Schwartz, an archetypical slacker living in the shadow of his more successful brother and literally in his divorced parents’ basement. When his mother decides to sell the house and move into a condo, he loses even this retreat. His family home is purchased by Seymour J. Kahn, a druggy, drunk, paraplegic porn addict, who once was a success on TV. The two form a strange sort of uneasy friendship which ultimately ends both comically and badly. And on YouTube. 336 pp.
