Jim Cantrell is a disillusioned language teacher in Spain . Not only is he beginning to feel some guilt regarding his having returned to Europe after his grandparents had ventured away to claim the New World for themselves and their progeny, but the conditions in which he finds himself are personally and pedagogically demoralizing.

Or are the people and events in his life merely to be thought of as characters and interludes in a theatre play, to be enjoyed for the little they might be able to afford and expectant of the next? Varying degrees of stream-of-consciousness prose, at times threatening to yield to the completely lucid, make this as much a conceptual challenge as an enjoyable distraction.

Reveries and experimental syntax abound as we follow Sharon on a journey filled with surprise and unexpected self-discovery.
