A writer-to-be embarks over a comic coming-of-age trip through the crushing mediocrity of work, the vagaries of fate, and the mysteries of love-making. A perplexed and conflicted however, not altogether angry son shares his observations, disappointments, rants, and intimate wishes in a revealing group of letters with an unnamed friend. Our hero would like to be always a writer, but is caught doing mind-numbing help an unethical encyclopedia publisher. He muddles through two engagements, one to a bright-eyed Catholic virgin, the other to a female pregnant with another man's child. And the fantastic American Novel he is writing-about a man named Austin who's becoming invisible-may be somewhat too much for the reading community to take care of. But as long as he's received his friends (like Jose, who's established to bed and wed his cousin Rita the nun), his health (no thanks to the medical establishment that wiped out his father), and his sex drive, everything should turn out okay. Success of the William Faulkner Basis Award for distinctive first novel-more outrageous than Catcher in the Rye and much more scandalous than Portnoy's Grievance-Charles Simmons's Powdered Eggs can be an unforgettable view of young North american life through an amusingly jaundiced eyesight.
