Finding the Moon in Sugar [2009] - Gint Aras

"You know that feeling you get when you wake up and your still wasted? Like the white hot sun's blastin' on your face and a dog's lickin' your mouth cauze he thinks your probably dead? The light hurts your brain real bad and the dog's breath is gonna make you puke. But you can't even lift your head or open your eyes cauze you forgot how your body works."

In this tragicomedy, Gint Aras' hapless and marijuana-dazed narrator, Andrew Nowak, is seduced by a bombshell internet bride. The mysterious and wealthy Audra soon consumes the twenty year-old boy's imagination, a welcome distraction from his needy mother and sister. Wild and hilarious adventures await Andy in Lithuania when he sells his possessions to follow Audra abroad. But he soon finds himself trapped penniless in her world of illness, regret and sex. Stumbling backwards into a romance he never sees coming, Andy must deal with Audra's narcissism and grapple to understand her, a struggle that just might destroy him.
