The Forty-Something Fanboy: A Midlife Crisis in the Age of COVID

David Yi wasnt trying to fall in love again. And if he had been it should have been with his new girlfriend and not some Korean social media influencer perhaps half his age that he cant even understand. But as much as he knows its not right its so exhilarating he cant stop thinking about her and so unspeakably embarrassing he cant tell another soul. And even if he could bring himself to talk about it who would he talk to? Newly divorced isolating in his spartan one-bedroom apartment struggling to manage his aging parents by phone and under pressure from a new boss that hes never actually seen in person David cant even blow off steam with his friends on the golf course or over a beer. Something has to give. And when it does everything unravels. Up is down right is left and every other denial is a white lie. A story about self and family about identity and history and about love when theres no one around to love The Forty-Something Fanboy is a sweet and sad soulful and sometimes silly story about one mans unpredictable reaction to the craziness we have all been enduring in the age of COVID.
