My Date With Marilyn Robert Joseph Chastain

Forty-year-old Joseph has come to the end of his fifteen-year career as a surgical instrument salesman. He takes a job as a taxi driver so he can pursue his lifelong dream of writing a novel. The twenty-year marriage to his childhood sweetheart ends in divorce. His motorcycle, a howling black beast, powers his personal Odyssey to navigate the tumultuous transition to middle age. In search of authenticity and identity, his floundering journey into the surreal inner maze of mid-life is darkly humorous, lusty, tragic, and finally, redemptive.
