Model Behavior

Connor McKnight, former acolyte of film, Zen, and Japanese literature, is not unaware that these avocations are wildly different from his present occupation as a fledgling celebrity journalist. Meanwhile, his longtime girlfriend, the fashion model Philomena, seems curiously remote and soon decamps for the West Coast. Then there's the sister with whom he shared a flamboyantly addled childhood and his best friend, a monkishly neurotic and militantly vegetarian writer. Connor' s anxieties can scarcely be assuaged by his trio of flirting obsessions— a gorgeous stripper, a screenplay in progress, and the nature of a meaningful future. With the holidays fast approaching— and a female admirer stalking him by email— Connor gropes his hapless, hilarious way toward not so much salvation as self-preservation.
