The story follows a man who takes everything too literally, becoming the star of a reality TV show. Ron Currie's previous works have captivated readers with their originality and psychological depth. The protagonist, K., is a unique character who sheds light on the human experience. He shares traits with iconic literary figures, displaying a hyper-articulate frustration with the world and serving as a misunderstood truth-teller. After the death of his wife, K. loses his metaphorical capacity, becoming obsessed with clarity, much to the annoyance of those around him. His life takes a turn when he intervenes in an armed robbery, unwittingly becoming a hero and the focus of a new reality series. Alongside Claire, a witty grocery store clerk with aspirations of fame, K. embarks on a journey across the country, stirring controversy at the crossroads of American politics and entertainment. However, as events escalate into a dramatic confrontation, K. learns that society will fiercely defend its illusions, challenging his newfound perspective on truth and reality.
