Summary
"Objects easily appear and disappear in Peck's hands, and so do people. "Into the void," the young magician writes on a sheet of paper. "What's supposed to happen doesn't" and "What's not supposed to happen does." That's all the sense he can make of life, and the uncertainty produces hilarious results. The "theory of failed expectations"--If you can't control the outcome, then roll with it. And roll he does, all the way to Puerto Villarta, Corfu, and Paris--letting life come to him rather than searching for the "divination of secrets." In the end, he finds both."--Publisher's website.
