Getting BackAbove everything, Rob Silvers is preoccupied with getting even with his college, parents, wife and others who compromise his desires and expectations. While trying to find himself, he battles with an eccentric religious biology professor who dominates St. Sylvester's College. Midst controversy, he starts a free thinker's club, and finally with the aid of a sympathetic teacher, is able to leave. Part two occurs over 20 years later. Now married to his college sweetheart, he is desperate to survive without a job or money in Pennsylvania. Meanwhile he suspects that his wife is unfaithful and seeks a harsh vengeance. This quick paced and humorous story questions whether life is determined by the past or if our choices are truly free. |
