Kevin Quinn ist durchschnittlich, mittleren Alters, egoistisch und verletzlich. Er versucht, sowohl Schmerz als auch Verantwortung zu vermeiden, was ihn weder privat noch beruflich wirklich weit gebracht hat. Heute ist der Tag, an dem sich alles ändern kann, neuer Job, neue Stadt, neue Frau, alles scheint möglich. Ein ungewöhnlicher Tag wenn er ihn überlebt und das Flugzeug nicht von Terroristen abgeschossen wird.
One Man, one day, and a novel bursting with drama, comedy, and humanity.
Kevin Quinn is a standard-variety American male: middle-aged, liberal-leaning, self-centered, emotionally damaged, generally determined to avoid both pain and responsibility. As his relationship with his girlfriend approaches a turning point, and his career seems increasingly pointless, he decides to secretly fly to a job interview in Austin, Texas. Aboard the plane, Kevin is simultaneously attracted to the young woman in the seat next to him and panicked by a new wave of terrorism in Europe and the UK. He lands safely with neuroses intact and full of hope that the job, the expansive city, and the girl from the plane might yet be his chance for reinvention. His next eight hours make up this novel, a tour-de-force of mordant humor, brilliant observation, and page-turning storytelling.
