About this listen

A failed suicide, a failed writer, and a failed husband, Ches is tragically depressed - that is, until he finds his muse in punk rocker/militia-marketer/free-spirit Thalia. Ches is haunted by Thalia's ghost - or perhaps a hallucination - and grows obsessed with writing her story...but due to his increasingly erratic behavior, he is quickly self-destructing. The pressures of public-school IT work, a middle-school revolution, an ex-wife, a crazed father, and an emotional crime spree culminate in a fantastic meta twist, creating a surprising end to this fabulously witty dark comedy.
