Goleman Eck is an abortion survivor. Literally. As such, he is subject to other people's uses of him for political, religious, and media purposes. Some for whom he "doesn't look right" threaten his life. Others know Gole, as a lover or true friend. Whirling together the contemporary outrageous and the serio-comic, Robert Ready's Eck: A Romance is wholly new fiction, a quest for identity, purpose, love-even what it means to be alive.
