Oppen Porter thinks he s dying. (He s not.)
From his hospital bed, with tape recorder in hand, he unspools his tale for the benefit of his unborn son, the tale of his forty-day journey from innocence to experience, from self-described slow absorber to man of the world.
This is his astonishing, laugh-aloud funny, crisp, delightful, indelible story.
