What is The lamentable journey of Omaha Bigelow into the impenetrable Loisaida jungle about?
"Just laid-off from Kinko's, dumped by his girlfriend, failed in all his career aspirations, and burdened with a particularly frustrating anatomical shortcoming, Omaha Bigelow finds salvation on the streets of New York's Lower East Side in the form of Maruquita Salsipuedes, a nubile young Nuyorican homegirl equipped with an array of magical powers to cure his problems. Their misbegotten romance transforms him from perpetual loser to overnight success, but magic may have a price; soon he must struggle to remain faithful, as he becomes ensnared in the world of an irresistible WASP law student and a sinister ex-CIA agent who just happens to be her father." "Vega Yunque challenges the received wisdom of contemporary life and the politics that underpin it - everything from preventive war to "compassionate conservatism" - in expressly salient parallel commentary that invites readers to engage with his unsparing assessment of how we've gotten ourselves so 'plexed up."--BOOK JACKET.
