Bigsby

"A SPLENDID TRAGICOMEDY." "A COMPLETE TRAIN WRECK. I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!" "THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF BIGSBY IN ALL OF US." Thirty-something Bigsby is an absent-minded, obsessive-compulsive, white-collar worker living in New York City. A rather short, stubby-looking fellow with a slightly protruding belly and just a few precious strands of black hair left on his head, he dresses rather shabbily in what looks like ill-fitting consignment shop suits and rarely remembers to bathe. Bigsby eventually falls for quirky, seventeen-year-old Monica, a pugnacious girl with purple hair who works at a bookstore near Bigsby's apartment. But Bigsby has a rather pressing problem. He is slowly losing his mind. A dark comedy with a touch of magical realism thrown in, Bigsby is the tale of two people living in a painted world who fall for each other. Only one of them will survive the impact.
