Cicatrix — Edward Wilson

CICATRIX recounts the sometimes strange and scaring adventures in Mexico of several sets of people as they travel the more than one thousand mile long road down the Baja California peninsula from Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas. Bones and Eugene chase a motorcyclist with awful intent. The Professor and assistants collect fossils and party. Gerald interviews for a scholarship and friend Earl has fun, fun, fun. Brad ponders a shaky marriage while romping through casual sex. Johann and Valerie sightsee from a chauffeured Bentley. Ethel tries to forget a runaway gay husband. A mystery man tracks them, a puzzle decipherable by astute readers, perhaps.
