Harold and Geets are friends trying to find their way in the world. We follow their stories antiphonally (although it's more like scramble to keep up). There is a huge cast and many things happen, but there's no discernible narrative arc. It's all about being inside Pinkwater's head, a congenial hang-out for some readers, judging by comments on the online version.
