Reviews
"Reuss has written a compelling story of a man's spiraling journey inward to an altered mental state.... hilariously on the mark." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch "The Wasties is one of the most interesting...books of the year." --Rocky Mountain News "Caruso's observations are by turns hilarious and devastating, and even as he gradually losses his sanity, they often ring true." --Washingtonian Magazine "Reuss has finesse. He is able to evoke suffering and loneliness--especially as it is felt by Caruso's wife--but plays them as background tones in a monologue dominated by Caruso's bright, vibrant voice." --New York Sun

Synopsis
The Wasties is a compassionate, darkly comic novel about a man who is slowly losing his ability to understand the adult world. In Frederick Reuss's highly praised novels,Henry of Atlantic CityandHorace Afoot,we have the stories of people who find themselves strangely isolated from everyone around them. InThe Wasties, Reuss takes us to a new level, giving us the story of Michael "Caruso" Taylor, a man who has lost his ability to speak and is gradually reverting to infancy. All of his most intimate relationships are redefined: His wife, Gina, must assume the role of mother; his day nurse becomes his nanny; and "Caruso" is reduced to drinking tomato juice through sippy straws and observing the world from a radically skewed perspective. Once a professor of literature, Michael's predicament is compounded by a deteriorating memory of his adult self, and he begins to "see" the famous-and often dead-denizens of his former learning in everyone from a bum in the park to a doctor in the hospital. Walt Whitman, John Muir, Ralph Ellison, and a host of others materialize before him as he tries to comprehend and articulate his plight. He calls his condition "the wasties"-but what kind of malady is it? Physical? Psychological? Or some sort of higher madness? Humane, funny, and deeply affecting,The Wastiesis a satiric work of unique vision and voice about one man whose infantilization plays out a secret fantasy many of us share: to shun the responsibilities of life as an adult.
