AMERICAN ABSURD. A WORK OF FICTION - Tecno-Libro

Mr. David Madden lives in L.A. .He's an ordinary man. Every day, he gets up and drives to work. Only .he never .gets there. instead, he drives from here to there, from .Westwood to Santa Monica, Santa Monica to Venice . . . and so on. it .seems he's always just going from point A to point B. Of course, driving .from point A to point B-that's pretty much what people do in L.A. . But then one day a mishap occurs, a breakdown of sorts, on Santa Monica .Boulevard. Soon the media takes notice, and overnight Mr. Madden is .transformed into a pioneering cultural figure as his A-to-B thing .goes .viral and becomes the defining issue of our time. Questions are asked, .solutions offered, and blame assigned as therapists, academics, police, .and lawyers all get involved. Safe to say, no one escapes unscathed in this .caustic, irreverent, and hilarious social satire. Pierre Schlag is University Distinguished Professor and
