description: Back On Tuesday is the savagely funny story of Eugene H., a failed, womanizing writer from Toronto. After a nasty flare-up with his ex-wife, he snatches their five-year-old daughter from school and flees to Jamaica. Over the next eighteen hours he embarks on a starlit walk down an endless sea-coast road, muddles over his life, fumes, plots, drinks over-proof, regrets, reminisces, encounters a young woman with grey eyes, a coffin maker, a black Napoleon on his motorcycle...and a host of other creatures from the Jamaican night. At the end of the road - where he's been heading all along - is the black, aquarium stillness of the Wharf Club, a bar that sits dead in the centre of the world.
