...stream-of-conscious storytelling, a slip-shod version of Catcher in the Rye. Its central character, Jimi Banks, graduates from college and, overburdened with a lost love and a friend's suicide, turns himself into a cheap-thrill escape artist. He seeks to lose himself in foreign countries, foreign liquor, hash and lusting after women...
