Summary:
When Morris Schutt surveys his life over the past year, he sees disaster everywhere. His son has been killed in Afghanistan, his wife left, and his newspaper put him on indefinite leave. What is a thinking man to do? He will either turn to Cicero and Plato and Socrates in search of the truth, or better still, he might call one of those discreet "dating services" in search of happiness. But happiness, as Morris discovers, is not that easy to find.
