Picturing Will - Abridged

Summary

A complex look at adulthood through the eyes of one remarkable child.

Five-year-old Will is the precocious child of Jody and Wayne. Jody is a woman who dreams of becoming a celebrity and is having an affair with a man named Mel, while Wayne is no stranger to infidelity, either. The details of their intertwined lives form an intricate and often disturbing picture of modern day life— a life in which Will is unable to achieve a sense of normalcy from either parent.
