If Holden Caulfield, Walter Mitty, Fuchleberry Finn, The lone Ranger, and Garp ever got together, they would grow up to be Shervorne (Bornie) Eppe. Bornie, a 24 year-old child-man, leaps out of the loony bin onto the road in search of his grandmother (whom he loves), his father (who is off somewhere trying to find the meaning of life), and the girl of his dreams (discovered when he dialed her number by accident). Bornie is an innocent, a stranger in a strange land, living a modern American odyseey peppered with paranoid crooks, enterprising evangelists, unscrupulous politicians, and the biggest, baddest black man ever met in recent fiction.
