Provocative, poignant, and resoundingly hilarious,Ā The Red-Headed PilgrimĀ is the tragicomic tale of an anxious red-head and his sordid pursuit of enlightenment and pleasure (not necessarily in that order).
On a sunny day in a business park near Portland, Oregon, 42-year-old web developer Kevin Maloney is in the throes of an existential crisis that finds him shoeless in a field of Queen Anneās lace, reflecting on the tumultuous events that brought him to this moment. Growing up in the suburbs, young Kevin suffered āa psychological break that ripped me from my humdrum existenceā mainlining high fructose corn syrup and episodes ofĀ The Golden Girls. Thus begins a journey of hard-earned insights and sexual awakening that takes Kevin from angst-ridden Beaverton to the beaches of San Diego, a frontier-themed roadside attraction in Helena, Montana, and a hermetic shack on an organic lettuce farm.
Everything changes when Kevin falls in love with Wendy. After a chance tarot reading lands them on the frigid coast of Maine, their lives are unsettled by the birth of their daughter, ZoĆ«, whose sudden presence is oftentimes terrifying, frequently disturbing, and yetāmiraculouslyāalways wondrous.
The Red-Headed PilgrimĀ is an irresistible novel of misadventure and new beginnings, of wanderlust and bad decisions, of parenthood and divorce, and of the heartfelt truths we unearth when we least expect it.
