| Plot Summary of After Goodlake's |
|---|
"Fergus is a small businessman coping with a midlife crisis--should he and his wife continue running his successful deli (and their unsuccessful marriage), or should he pay heed to his childhood dreams and follow the passions of his formative years? He solves the question with a romantic affair with a woman half his age. While that proves to be a lot of fun, it leads to no good end--except for the significant changes it provokes in his life."
Jenni Cash, Resident Scholar
