| Publisher Description: Spike, a psychologist and activist, and Jane, a philosopher and writer, leave their dead-end temp jobs in Toronto and head for Paris--on their lunch break--by car, stopping frequently to stock up on chocolate. En route they pick up X, an extraterrestrial from a planet where chocolate is one of the major food groups and testosterone is a prohibited substance. X is cosmically, galactically lost in Earth's backwardly gendered society. Jane and Spike decide to take a detour and help X find astronomers and physicists who know the space-time coordinates for Earth, starting with America's top universities in Boston before trying NASA and CalTech. The more they travel, the further they seem to be from a solution to X's problem--and from Paris. This out-of-the-ordinary road trip is chock-full of social, political and environmental commentary, feminist insights, and plenty of laughs. |
