“Our unlikely hero, a smooth-tongued and morally rancid television host, discovers one morning that he has lost his all-important identification data. In literal quest of his identity, he embarks on a Dantesque journey in which he meets a series of very different women, as well as sinister police authorities from the other zones. He also discovers the power of group hallucinations and convinces himself that there`s an atomic bomb wired beneath his skin, ready to go off. (Ever have one of those days?)” Chicago Tribune -1988
