Andrew (A to Z)

How was my day? Im trying not to remember. A wry unconventional character study Andrew (A to Z) is a sort of mosaic that the reader assembles subconsciously. Focusing on the narrators family friends co-workers and neighbors it is the story of a quasi-neurotic malcontent on the edge of the edge of middle middle-age. An amateur photographer the office satirist an evenings dinner guest Andrew pastes together in alphabetical disorder a collage portrait of his baffled suburban life. Excerpt: Arizona. There is a rumor I was born there but I dont believe it. I dont feel like a person who was born in Arizona I feel like a person who was born somewhere else-somewhere with trees and an ocean and a liberal political tradition. Somewhere like Washington or Oregon or Massachusetts.
