A middle American teacher struggles to stem a tide of unfortunate events negatively impacting his standing in the world.

ABSTRACT
Larry Gopnik, teacher and family man living in late-1960s suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota, struggles with a host of issues in his world, his dysfunctional home life paramount among them. Things turn from bad to worse when Larry's wife demands a divorce, forcing him and hapless brother Arthur into a motel and placing our poor protagonist at the mercy of an evidently-uncaring God and his tendency to work in "mysterious ways" as the rabbis he constantly turns to for guidance seem helpless to impart any actual wisdom upon his put-upon soul.
