Impossible Vacation
By Gray, Spalding
Impossible Vacation
Brewster North witnesses his mother's madness but misses her suicide; searches frantically for enlightenment in the Poconos and zipless sex in India; suffers family ennui in Rhode Island and a nervous breakdown in Amsterdam. And as Gray narrates his hero's freefall, he confirms his stature as one of our funniest, most eccentric, and engaging storytellers.
