Assigned to write an autobiography high-school senior Robert Radkovitz instead creates a sound portrait of his life as he remembers it. Looking back he hears his mother's singing his grandmother's mysteries Mexican soap operas Poe poetry and most cherished the voice of his absent father from a single tape of one of his radio shows.
Told in a collage of voices Seek describes Rob's search for his father a search pursued not through San Francisco's streets but through the labyrinth of the airwaves. Psychic readers baseball announcers pirate DJs friends and teachers join a rich ringing aural autobiography that's as joyfully comic as it is compelling.
