A play in one act, in which the transparent characters – Glenn, Glenda, Gladwin, and Glennis Glass – offer their opinions on such weighty philosophical matters as being half full or half empty, accepting oneself as one comes from the Great Factory, the restricted lives of their costlier neighbors in the locked china cabinet, the fate of an unfortunate cousin with a glass jaw, and much more.

Set in the late 1960s, this story has almost nothing to do with Vietnam. Instead, it deals with conflicts between parents and children, spouses, sisters, and lovers. Infidelity, sibling rivalry, and social change are highlighted as the novel explores multiple varieties and two generations of deception and self-deception. "Gripping and powerful." "A brilliant first novel, gorgeously executed."
