Indecision by Benjamin Kunkel
Dwight Wilmerding, twenty-eight, is having a midlife crisis. And there's an even bigger problem: his chronic inability to make up his mind. Encouraged to try a drug meant to banish indecision, he is all at once fired from his low-grade tech-support job in Manhattan and invited to a rendezvous in exotic Ecuador with the girl of his long-ago prep-school dreams. Unable to decide if the magic pills are working, he finds his would-be romantic escape becoming a journey into unbidden responsibility and -- deep in the jungles of the Amazon -- the foreign country of a changed outlook. 'Indecision manages to make the whole flailing, postadolescent, prelife crisis feel fresh and funny again ...The funniest and smartest coming-of-age novel in years' Jay McInerney, New York Times Book Review 'He's got this voice that just grabs your attention and won't let go ...Old Dwight's book really knocked me out' Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
