Synopsis

  • Larry Block and Joe: why they never talk about Joe's life, NY v/s Hollywood agents joke.
  • Gregory Poe: having been a famous Japanese fashion designer working for a huge company, a contract specifying he dye his hair and wear contacts. He develops a speed habit, freaks out.

  • Larry's best summer, acting in Shakespeare in the park and sleeping with actresses. Are Larry's problems existential? Have they really worsened?
  • Larry's summer continues: interacting with Hassids in central park, realizing one's arm is a man's arm. Sex while wearing phylacteries, on the torah.
