Description
Overwhelmed by anxiety, his mother's declining mental health and the mysterious disappearance of his father, Kepler Pressler breaks into the local zoo and attempts to set free a family of chimpanzees. When Kepler wakes up to find himself in a mental health institute, he finds that his real troubles have only just begun. Gracelessland is a comic and despairing depiction of an unscrupulous family, filled with tender moments and calculated cruelties. It's about Elvis Presley, the pursuit of happiness, and the certain uncertainty of memory.
