Jon’s alter egos, including the Polish Professor of Negativity, Zen Master Zero, Manuel (Who Pleases the Women), and Prescott Beauregard, tell the thrill-a-minute tale of his ill-fated attempt to become an Intellectual Guerrilla, 1970s style, with the help of cheap wine, disco, French philosophy, and a primitive Panasonic word processor.

 

Thrill to Jon’s doomed attempt to write the Great Book of Everything—a monumental work of poetry, philosophy, and inebriation that could only end up as—the Breakdown Book.

 

As the characters explore Jon’s fervid, fragmentary memories of the Seventies, they celebrate a time when it was still possible to believe that neo-Marxist cultural theory, Robert Altman movies, and Gallo Hearty Mountain Burgundy could change the world.
