Summary
Chris, a burnt-out sixties radical, has settled in Chicago seeking obscurity as an insurance underwriter. He wants to forget his activist past, but is besieged by old cronies and unwanted new ones: a former Black militant, now a transgender city cop; his loopy ex-wife, who speaks only the words of rock song cliches; a bomb-wielding Serbian restaurateur; a former partner in radicalism who now rails against the women's movement; a prostitute who espouses the virtues of promiscuity, and his African American-Polish landlady.
