Days of Grace

The narrative follows Ian Johns, a disillusioned thirty-one-year-old who abandons law school after his mother's death from cancer, embarking on a meandering journey without direction. Blending dark humor with poignant reflections, the story captures his travels and memories, particularly his time at his mother's deathbed. The writing style, reminiscent of literary figures like Lethem and Kerouac, combines picaresque elements with a modified stream-of-consciousness approach, exploring themes of crisis, self-discovery, and the human experience in Y2K America.
