Abstract

Four people grapple with the essentials of sex, death, love, and mortality in search of happiness and the answer to the all important question: what is the true currency of human success?

Description

Each of the characters in this novel faces a test of courage, though not necessarily the one he foresaw. Naturally, there are certain coloured pills, a revolver, and a child who cannot be trusted, as the summer of '97, the summer of the comet, reaches its surprising conclusion.
