Description: "Jupiter is crazy, and not only because he lives on top of a grain elevator. As a sixty-year-old ad exec, he knows people are his living, but he can't bear being with more than two human beings at a time. Unfortunately, his one psychic need is for a family, but its a little late to start one. Additional complications trip him up - the Village is about to evict him, and he's dating a twenty-five-year-old woman that's stomping roughshod over him. He's haunted by a child he accidentally killed years ago and his best friend is Gilgamesh, a dead Sumerian king who gives bad advice. The reader will treasure the funny, tragic ride through Jupiter's life, even if Jupiter doesn't."--Amazon.com.
