Sinking in moral quicksand, caught between a disturbed psyche and divorce in a nation of dazed minds, marriage therapist Ryan Mathiesson has one path to survival: he must learn to rock his solitude and stay footloose in a mad whirling dance.
Exploring the crisis of meaning in contemporary America, the story follows Eric, a self-proclaimed sadhu lacking genuine credentials or wisdom. His meditations reveal a self-centered nihilism, reflecting on his unfulfilled aspirations. However, he begins to question whether the teachings of true holy men and their renunciation of worldly desires could provide a way out of his existential despair. This novel delves into themes of identity, spirituality, and the search for purpose amidst modern disillusionment.
