ABOUT THE
BOOK
|
|
Schmidt Delivered revisits the antihero first met in About Schmidt . Within the modest luxury of his Hamptons home, Schmidt rediscovers domestic bliss, with Carrie, a Puerto Rican waitress younger than his daughter. He keeps his own hours and steers his own course, even as he becomes increasingly ensnared by the odd Levantine billionaire Michael Mansour. Among Schmidt's other satisfactions is the thought of the cold dish of "I told you so" he could serve himself as his yuppie daughter's marriage founders on a scandal that engulfs the detested son-in-law. Where will it all lead? A story of recovery from late-life disaster. |
