Summary: It's summer 1991, the dawning of the New World Order; and post-MTV, pre-AOL generation. Jerome Shafir and Sylvie Green, two former New Yorkers who can no longer afford an Eat VIllage apartment, set off on a journey across the entire former Soviet Bloc with the intention of adopting a Romanian orphan. There are only two things that Sylvie thinks will save them: a child of their own, and the success of Jerome's long-postponed book, The anthropology of unhappiness.
