The inspirational and surreal voyage of a man who seeks to understand the world through love and friendship.
Green Talbot is a listener in a world of talkers. Born in a small town in 1919, he embarks on a trip to his destiny during the brief peace between two devastating wars. The journey takes him through some of the most fascinating periods and places in history: the United States during the Great Depression, Europe after World War II, and Italy during the economic boom. And within himself, he discovers a unique possibility: to traverse time and space, to journey through the entire twentieth century with its frenzies, its unforgettable and extreme figures, and its cities destroyed and rebuilt, gathering life and meaning from it all. Eventually, he returns home to face his demons, and the little girl he left behind.
