Meanwhile, the middle aged are chasing elixirs of youth and our patient Chinese creditors may just be ready to foreclose on the whole mess. Then Lenny Abramov, son of a Russian immigrant janitor and ardent fan of "printed, bound media artifacts" (aka books), meets Eunice Park, a mesmerizing, unpredictable Korean American with a major in Images and a minor in Assertiveness. Could falling in love redeem a country falling apart?
