A Week in Paradise

Solomon Roth is a homeless crypto-animator and freestyle rapper inhabiting an alley in Venice Beach. Everything he touches turns to chaos. His soon-to-be-lover's father is a ruthless record label executive handling top tier artists that either can't seem to control themselves or have targets on their backs. From not- so-casual infidelity with interns to Twitter-inflated accusations of sexual harassment to run-ins with the Italian Mafia; from high-caliber rappers to philosophical drug dealers to the musings of bitter LA housewives, we're afforded seven days of absurdity and interconnectedness on a metropolitan playground of inflated egos and yearnings for truth.

No chapters, no page breaks, just the perpetual passing of time in this third-person dramatic evolution of William Gaddis' iconic style made more modern and accessible. As Solomon roams the city in search of his own authenticity, and as the resulting chaos unfurls, these characters lives begin to intertwine in ways they may not even know.
