"Oh! Ha ha! An amount of carrot in my ear! Let me just remove that."

"You cannot have a protagonist without desire; it doesn't make any sense, any fucking sense."

• A thirtyish radio sports commentator who wants to be part of a legendary play/call that will outlive him; he wants immortality, but a very esoteric and unlikely sort of immortality. (Inspired by Johnny Most and Tom Cheek.)
• A young man who feels out of place in (wherever he lives) and wants to find his perfect place, his Gauguin's Tahiti.

So yeah. Does anyone want me to write a review of The Avalanche?
