Synopsis
WHIM tells the story of a very magical Indian boy who finds that he has been sent to earth by his Father Lord Chance to discover the Big U.T.(ultimate truth). As a high school football star just discovering sex, Whim is distracted from his quest by being in love with the brainy, sexy but very moral Dawn, and also by his rival Billy Best, who wants to discover u.t. so he can market it and make a bundle. The novel is filled with Zen-like encounters between Whim and his Montauk mentor Grain-of-Sand; Narsufin, the great black Sufi sage famous for his hook shot; and the Abominable Snowman Sage of the Himalayas. In the end Whim finds his u.t., saves the Montauk nation, and wins the heart (and all other bodily parts) of his beloved Dawn.

From the Publisher
WHIM is a comic-philosophical sequel to THE DICE MAN. But this time, instead of a Lucifer loose in the world as with the character of Luke in THE DICE MAN, we have an innocent embodiment of Chance in the character of Whim. Like THE DICE MAN, WHIM is an hilarious comedy of ideas and actions, this time about how foolishly humans can behave as they go off on a seemingly noble quest.
