Whitey, 2000

Meer over het boek

"Whitey, 2000" traces the fascinating life of Zachary Adecki, a never-married, ad agency creative director mired in a mid-life crisis compounded by sex, success and betrayal. Nadine Wolfe, his beautiful lover of 15 years has left him, his partners are plotting his demise and the 19-year-old daughter he's never met is coming to meet "daddy." More troubling are his string of near-fatal mishaps. Who is the mysterious woman-image he sees during these accidents and what does she want? Seeking solace, Zach beds a buxom client but their erotic, unforgettable tryst only heightens his panic. Falling in love with a good Catholic girl means marriage and the last time he felt obligated, he left Nadine at the altar. Unable to commit, he falls victim to one final "accident." Deep in a coma, he joins the mysterious woman-image on a journey back to a simpler time. There he is forced to confront the past and finds what he needs to face the future. But underneath Zach's journey lies the true soul of "Whitey", a story of how America changed during the past fifty years... a funny and biting "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" that touches on everything from Sputnik to rock & roll to tabloid journalism. For anyone interested in an uproarious look back at the last 50 years of the just-past millennium, Whitey, 2000 delivers an irreverent yet heartwarming tale of redemption, hope and faith.
