As a twenty-something corporate employee with a doctor-in-training girlfriend, Livingstone Modicai Ackerman--Liv, to his friends--personifies success. Yet all is not as it seems. His job is tedious and soul-gutting, his girlfriend is a vacuous, image-conscious snob, and, meanwhile, his pathologically narcissistic parents are constant irritants. Add to this the febrile political climate dominated by a reactionary group, the Patriot Posse, led by a mendacious radio personality with outlandish hair and catchy campaign slogan to Make America Great Again, is a presidential candidate--and he's winning!
How does one maintain a sense of dignity and worth in such a cynical environment devoid of humanity and hope?
Told with humor, charm, and wit, Why Liv? attempts to explain why modern work is so devoid of purpose and why reactionary politics is so alluring in America. But most of all, it humbly attempts to offer a reason to persevere in these difficult times.
