Bruno Maddox is desperately improvising a memoir at breakneck speed in a single night. It is the most bizarre of memoirs -- a woman's recollections of an English country childhood, by an author who knows nothing about rural England . . . and even less about being a woman. As dawn approaches and exhaustion takes hold, he is forced to confront the obvious: that his threadbare, TV-taught understanding of world history is entirely to blame for the debilitating holes in his personality.

obvious: that his threadbare, TV-taught understanding of world history is entirely to blame for the debilitating holes in his personality.
