Larry and the Meaning of Life
by Janet Tashjian
In the third installment of Larry, also known as Josh, we find him back home in Concord, Mass., vegetating on the couch and hypnotized by TV. His campaign for President (Vote For Larry) is over, the love of his life has fled the relationship, and his mental malaise prompts him to postpone his freshman year at Princeton. He has always had a major project on the front burner—before he ran for President of the USA he spearheaded a national crusade against commercialism in The Gospel According to Larry—so his catatonic state has his Dad and best friend more than a little concerned. Here is where the plot begins. While wondering around Walden Pond, he has a chance encounter with Gus, a “guru” who offers a study group that helps the confused and disoriented find true “reality”. After Larry finds that the long lost girlfriend has traveled across the country to take Gus’s group, he signs on, too. Eighteen years old and already searching for reality—I can relate to that! I think it is a great example of something, but if I tell you, it might give away too much!! It has five letters, and two vowels.
