SKU: Book/Eric

Bee, a 21-year-old college student, struggles to find a sense of purpose and belonging in the world. Through a series of events, including the death of his father, an abortion and the subsequent split with his girlfriend, Bee attempts to maintain his sanity as well as piece together his future. Whether he is screaming to a bar-full of people in New York City, palling around with Japanese tourists on the crowded streets of Prague, or leaping from a third floor balcony on an island in Croatia, Bee is a memorable character who applies a unique world-view while wrestling with many of the traumas plaguing modern-day youth.
