Karoo is a drunk, a hopeless husband, a worse father and a second-hand genius. He spends his life turning other people's film scripts into box office hits, but now he's reached a mid-life crisis and needs to prove himself. Oscar-winning writer Steve Tesich masterfully creates and destroys the sad, mad world of Saul Karoo.Karoo is an alcoholic who can't get drunk, a loving father who can't bear to be alone with his son, a fixer of film scripts who admits that he ruins every one of them.Calamity and comedy accompany Saul on his odyssey through sex, death and showbusiness as he seeks to 'fix' both a master director's greatest film and his own broken life at the same time.
