What if you were suddenly confronted with a movie version of the most traumatic year of your life?
That's what happens to Ed Hinton. Fifty-ish, facing a failing marriage and a return bout of cancer, Ed is obsessed with the past and particularly that one poignant year - the year he took off college to hit the road with a beautiful aspiring actress named Jule and a rich-kid-turned-drifter named Patrick. Complicating their lives is Mae, a retired carnival stripper with a crude candor and a knack for driving them in perilous directions.
Julie recently starred in a movie about that year, taking liberities that infuriated Ed. So, with his health uncertain, Ed retreats to the attic to write his own version, and the novel preceeds along two narrative lines, past and present ultimately converging in a satisfying finish.
Theater Near You is at once a coming-of-age story, a midlife crisis story and a cancer story of striking honesty. It is about love and loss, the enduring toll of illness, and it's about history - personal, unsettling, forever with us.
