| Plot Summary of A Quest Among the Bewildered |
|---|
"On the Left Bank of Paris and in Hollywood, an American artist quests for the truth behind the shaky facade of his own life and culture—in a world of poets, producers, junkies, artists, actors, agents, whores and "legitimate" businessmen, he comes to terms with himself and uncovers the casual madness of modern-day society."
