<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This is a story of the busted-gut death of a childhood, any idealism, all good health. Rife with chicken wings, pizza, and Proust, it is a reflection on football and futility, colored by a throat-punching uncle, slice-counting brother, and a smattering of ghosts and interior dialogue diarrhea.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"Had I mentioned the real intention behind my return home--eating myself to death--I'm pretty sure my grandmother's reaction may have been more subdued..."</p><p> </p><p>So begins Teddy Rawski's journey to his hometown of Buffalo, and to the end of the night. An obsessive eater, itinerant dreamer, half-hopeful novelist, reluctant food journalist, and a pathological football lunatic, Teddy ponders nascent adulthood's quandaries on the road, over too many drinks and a beleaguered stomach. Set against the big-shouldered indifference of his present Chicago, between scattered half-stabs at professionalism, an unamused editor, unpolished manuscript, and a sputtering late-20's romance, Teddy wonders on a last ditch trip. For an assignment, maybe. To end it all, possibly. But also for a check on the tattered family he left behind, and the broken Buffalo Bills responsible for all life failures.</p><p> </p><p>This is a story of the busted-gut death of a childhood, any idealism, all good health.
