Description

"An excellent amusement." (Harold Bloom, The Brand New York Times Book Review) Ed Baltram is overcome with shame. His unpleasant little nuisance has gone terribly wrong: He's given his nearest buddy a meal laced with the child and a hallucinogenic substance has dropped out-of a window to his death. Ed looks for redemption via a gathering together with his well-known father, the reclusive artist Brian Baltram. Persuasive and humorous, The Great Beginner reaches once a very advanced amusement and an inquiry in to the religious crises that affect today's modern world.
