About this listen

American culture is strange, and it appears even stranger after a hiatus.

Cue Everett, back in Chicagoland after living in China. His head is spinning. His father has just died, plus basic reentry to the life he once knew is increasingly taxing and complicated. On top of that, it seems that while he was abroad, everyone Everett cared about dove off the deep end into some particular madness. Exhibit A: Everett’s mom, recently widowed and with a newfound faith in healing crystals and a ponytailed guru. Exhibit B: former roommate Dino and his new ascetic lifestyle - no more tasty food, ditto with sexy thoughts and the rest of life’s pleasures. Increasingly driftless and desperate, Everett signs onto an unconventional business venture that lands him at the center of the high-stakes world of mushroom smuggling.

Everett observes many strange desires in the world, as well as the lengths people are willing to go to meet those needs. Do the ends justify the means? What even are the ends? Eastbound into the Cosmos is the story of Everett’s attempt to process it all - the longing, the grief, the weirdness. Along the way, he discovers the weird in himself, too, which may just be the thing that ultimately frees him.
