Beta Test
Griffith offers up an unusually lighthearted apocalyptic tale.
Thousands of people around the world abruptly disappear, including Sam
Terra’s mother and the woman he thought he could love. Sam seeks
answers, accompanied by his obnoxious friend Melvin and his childhood
pal Paulie, and gradually uncovers secrets that in other hands could
have led to a deep philosophical exploration of humanity’s place in the
universe. Instead, Sam’s adventures border on the absurd as he travels
from New York to California to Australia while the world at large
inexplicably ignores the insanity thrust upon it. The humor can’t quite
hide the lack of finesse in the writing, but with the focus on escapism,
Griffith’s stylistic awkwardness isn’t as big a stumbling block as it
otherwise might have been. (Dec.)
