Opis

HARPOON pits a former American Lit Professor and Moby Dick scholar who romanticizes the 70's, against a beautiful woman raised in a rural commune who wants to make it in the "real world." After being fired from his academic position for hurling a harpoon at his students, DONALD ALCORN, now a 40-year-old book publisher living in Philadelphia, falls for GOLDEN ORLANDO, the 34-year-old author of a book he has reviewed for publication. Her book, about growing up in a Northern California commune, stirs Donald's fantasies of the 'free love" life he missed out on. Unfortunately, his editor-in-chief wants no part of a book about hippies, drugs, sex and rock & roll. Despite his boss's rejection, Donald offers Golden a quid pro quo. He'll help her get the book published if she gives him the 70's commune experience. They make a deal and what follows is love, sex, drugs, deception, betrayal, escape and a chase across the ocean and back with Donald, consumed by jealousy, sharpening his harpoons in wait for the surfacing of his great white whale.
