As the main character journeys through the vacuity of consumer society, from suburban surroundings to the 'neighbourhood box store,' his  mind slowly begins to unravel. 

Filled with existential despair and acerbic wit these short stories or, 'lamentations,' grapple with themes ranging from contemporary politics, to God and religion, to the absurdity of everyday existence.
