Why Liv?

As a twenty-something corporate employee with a doctor-in-training girlfriend Livingstone Modicai Ackerman--Liv to his friends--personifies success. Yet all is not as it seems. His job is tedious and soul-gutting his girlfriend is a vacuous image-conscious snob and meanwhile his pathologically narcissistic parents are constant irritants. Add to this the febrile political climate dominated by a reactionary group the Patriot Posse led by a mendacious radio personality with outlandish hair and catchy campaign slogan to Make America Great Again is a presidential candidate--and hes winning! How does one maintain a sense of dignity and worth in such a cynical environment devoid of humanity and hope? Told with humor charm and wit Why Liv? attempts to explain why modern work is so devoid of purpose and why reactionary politics is so alluring in America. But most of all it humbly attempts to offer a reason to persevere in these difficult times.
