Beau Is Afraid

While the dark specter of his mother looms over his entire life, Beau, a nagging pariah, has never understood his miserable existence. And perpetually bewildered by reality and his conflicting urgent needs, the neurotic New Yorker feels a deep dose of paralyzing anxiety and paranoia when he sets foot in an oddly familiar war zone: his neighborhood. But as the pill-popping hermit reluctantly embarks on a Sisyphean quest for answers, determined to find his ex-mother at all costs, Beau must summon the courage to confront everything that has kept him in the dark. To have every chance to decipher the sinister secrets that continue to reign over his life, Beau must face deep phobias, heavy guilt and a threatening parent. Because, in her case, love was a diabolical trap: the labyrinthine depths of maternal affection were only the means to achieve it. Now, the medication doesn't work and Beau is afraid. As the universe conspires against his conquest and the end approaches, will Beau be able to fight his inner demons for once
