| The world-famous author of Rich Man. Poor Man and Beggarman, Thief has cre- ated one of his most memorable charac- ters for one of his most unusualnovels: a brilliantly writteu story of a man whoneeds to risk death to feel fully alive, a man who turns away from a conrfortablc.outwardly successful life toward danger-ous pleasures. Michael Storrs s joy comes from physi-cal dangcr as a parachutist, a surfer ahang glider, a free faller, a reckless skier.Oppressed by his life in Ncw York City,hc feels choked by his career as an execu-tive in a high-powered office, choked bythe airless world of air-conditioned towers. His own sanity depends on his findinga purer, silnpler, more vigorous existence.aud he sets out to scarch for one. eventhough he loses his wife in the process. |
