The Adventures of Steven Buschman
1 chapitre Terminé Steven Buschman is suicidal. And not just in that adolescent rite of passage sort of way. Following one of his ballet recitals, he jumps out a seventh-floor window. While dressed like a bush. And lands in a bush. While catching a small child who has accidentally fallen off the roof. Steven's relatively small hometown takes pieces of the story and elevates it to folklore, creating a mythic figure of the Bush Man. Steven’s obsession with death and need for purpose eventually gets him pulled by the homemade cape into a mystery surrounding the apparent suicide of an attractive classmate’s mother. To find a killer no one wants to admit exists, he must take responsibility for his own life as well as those of his Muppet-like best friend, his hypochondriac grandfather, a mouthy city bus driver, and a few members of a local chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous, who have all rallied behind him. He must transform himself from Steven Buschman into the Bush Man.
