On his deathbed, a man regales his grandson with a tale of mad love, magnificent obsession, and a quest for a legendary comic book across a magical American landscape. It is a spring morning in 2007, and the man is dying in a hospital in Baltimore. He wants his grandson to understand why he's lived the way he has. So he tells the story of his life, from his first glimpses of love to his decades-long obsession with a beautiful, enigmatic woman and a search for a comic book that may or may not exist. The narrative takes the reader on a wild, picaresque journey across the American landscape.
