His father, wracked with disease, lost his job. Now Sunless must find his way in life, in America, into adulthood. And if he can't find support in his crumbling family, he can always try those little round pills." "From Gerard Donovan, the author of Julius Winsome, comes this novel about drugs, dealers, doctors, and the American condition. Set in the near future under the clear skies of Utah, Sunless is a wrenching and sometimes darkly funny tale that charts the emotionally stunted growth of a life overwhelmed with pharmaceutical solutions." "Witness the taste of his first antidepressant, how he learns to make crystal meth, and his single day as a volunteer in the Pharmolok research facilities. Sunless's journey is a truly American adventure - a journey into the mind of the bedeviled and the benighted, into a world of pain so great that the only balm is medical. And we have little choice but to watch it all unfold, because we are trapped in that mind. Welcome to the State of America."--BOOK JACKET.
