Exploring themes of friendship and identity, the narrative follows Gordon Ashberry, a wealthy but aimless man who decides to give away his fortune at fifty. His life takes a turn when a young Chinese writer capitalizes on his decision, leading to unexpected fame and self-imposed exile. Set against the backdrop of U.S.-China relations, the story unfolds through the perspectives of his friends, Harold and Larry, as they seek to understand Gordon's disappearance. This metafictional work draws inspiration from both contemporary and classic literature.
