Instead of a motorcycle, a sailing boat carried Phaedrus down the Hudson river as winter closes in. His travelling companion is Lila, a woman he has picked up in a riverside bar. This is the story of a clash of opposites - the philosophising, introspective Phaedrus, with the outgoing, sexually aggressive Lila - and it is their catastrophic-comic encounter that provokes a crisis in Phaedrus, forcing him to pose in human terms some of the most fundamental questions that face our times.
