A moment of rage in suburbia... Inside the crushing complacency of suburbia, mid-life crises play on men's lives unannounced. For one Long Island podiatrist, it requires an impromptu act of vandalism merely to make him alert to his own being. Walking home in the sub-zero wind flow chill of your Friday night, he stumbles on the container of horseradish and mindlessly hurls it through the screen of a popular store advertising over-sexed tween fashions. This one small, out-of-character impulse becomes his life stunning and terrifying, triggering waves of fear, crooked cops, and suspicions of anti-Semitism, both appropriate and paranoid. The storyline is told by this same podiatrist, an often hysterical, endearingly wide-eyed, and completely nameless narrator, to what he respect as the perfect audience: a comatose school friend. Yet, our narrator's most unique quality lies simply in his glowing love for his better half Alyse, the lady of his dreams whom he satisfied in college and still can't quite imagine he attained. She is the mother of his two children, Esme and Charlie, who are just starting to come into their own thoughts and experiencing their first encounters with prejudice. Pushed to the edge by his own wishes, despairs, and disappointments, our narrator is about to determine what it's prefer to become a legal, and what his excruciatingly lifeless neighborhood appears like when it's been turned ugly. Chock packed with heart and humor, It Won't CONTINUALLY BE This Great, the debut book of past Seinfeld article writer Peter Mehlman, shows how one man's storyline is never really his story by itself, it's the storyline of his family, of his friends, of these he neglected, of these he remembers, of his opponents, and of his desires, failures, dreams, and realities. And exactly how one snap decision can change the course of a life.
