Chase Insteadman, un ex niño estrella atractivo e inofensivo, lleva una vaga rutina de cenas y compromisos glamurosos en el Upper East Side de Manhattan. Mientras tanto, su prometida astronauta, atrapada en la Estación Espacial Internacional, le envía cartas de amor arrebatadoras. Al igual que Janice, Chase está a la deriva. En la vida de Chase entra Perkus Tooth, un crítico de pop de ojos saltones y de espíritu libre, cuyos elevados riffs conspiratorios son alimentados por marihuana de alta calidad, hamburguesas con queso gigantescas y un anhelo desesperado de significado. Juntos, Chase y Perkus intentan desenterrar la Verdad, ese artefacto más raro en una isla donde todo se puede comprar. A la vez hermosa y sórdida, conmovedora y divertida, la nueva novela de Lethem es, como siempre, absolutamente única.
