Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Edward Baltram is overwhelmed with guilt. His nasty little prank has gone horribly wrong: He has fed his closest friend a sandwich laced with a hallucinogenic drug and the young man has fallen out of a window to his death. Edward searches for redemption through a reunion with his famous father, the reclusive painter Jesse Baltram. Funny and compelling, The Good Apprentice is at once a supremely sophisticated entertainment and an inquiry into the spiritual crises that afflict the modern world.

don't u think murdoch is always on a quest , the quest of developing the most adequate existential character.it's like a game she plays with each character but stops where she has to owing to the limitations of the character.
