In "The Messes I Made While You Were Waiting For Godot," Peter McCarthy brings the characters, themes and ideas he's carried through "The Garden Of What Was And Was Not" and "Traveling Without A Passport" to a conclusion of sorts. Readers of his earlier books will understand that his stories don't end anymore than those in real life do. In "The Messes I Made While You Were Waiting For Godot," he rounds it all up and puts it away for a while.
Peter McCarthy discovers that his entire life, everything, the loves, the messes, the successes, the work, the friends, all of it, takes place during three days spent crossing America on a Greyhound Senicruiser in 1976. He meets Marcie and, in the reflection of a quirky romance, sees decades in enigmatic spirals in either direction.
As usual, Peter is funny, passionate, confused, perplexing, cynical, optimistic and never bored in "The Messes I Made While You Were Waiting For Godot," the last book in "The Autobiography Of X" series.
