After learning that his friend Gunnar has a fatal disease, Antsy Bonano (The Schwa Was Here) "gives" Gunnar a month of his life. The idea catches on, but the problem is that Gunnar's not actually sick. The book's many strands don't quite weave together, but Antsy remains a fresh and winning amalgam of smart aleck and schlemiel.
