Sunday Mornings

Sunday Mornings is a story about an aging teacher, Jack, who struggles against the mechanical processes that narrow our lives in a set direction. Written in the autobiographical style of Henry Miller, each chapter gives a time-photograph of Jack's attempt to reach a different reality. We follow Jack up to the California badlands where he meets a pack of wild coyotes and discovers that he is not yet ready to step between the crack in the world. He takes us to a Santa Cruz concert where the music goes round and round, and he gets blown into a different reality. We travel with him in a fear-ridden cab ride through the dark streets of downtown Oakland, and we go on a trip to the moon that leads to his North Philly home where he meets an old boxer and remembers himself in nighttime dreams.
