That fact, together with our hero&rsquo;s desire for his ex-girlfriend&rsquo;s older sister, prompts a radical departure as he quits his job cataloging old television shows and sets off on a westward journey. Pursuing solace in unlikely places, he embarks on a string of just-as-unlikely romances, including ones with a motel maid and an archaeology professor. But can anything distract him from the painful emptiness within? In the desert, finally free of society, a self-reckoning awaits.</div><DIV><BR>Bracing in its vision,<i> Inner Tube</i> is a fearless and often bitingly funny novel about what happens when our civilized veneers are shed.</div></div>
