Summary
A sly, witty, beautifully orchestrated tale about the difficulty of being good. Edward Baltram is overwhelmed by guilt. His nasty little prank has gone horribly wrong: he has fed his closest friend a sandwich laced with a hallucinogenic and the young man has fallen out the window to his death. Stuart Cuno, Edward's stepbrother, has renounced both sex and a promising academic career to live a monk like life helping others. As Stuart seeks salvation, Edward searches for forgiveness and redemption through reunion with his famous father, Jesse Baltram. It is in Jesse's unusual household that the complex affairs of Edward's extended family begin to unfold
