520    Milo Burke, a development officer at a third-tier 
       university, has "not been developing": after a run-in with
       a well-connected undergrad, he finds himself among the 
       burgeoning class of the newly unemployed. Grasping after 
       odd jobs to support his wife and child, Milo is offered 
       one last chance by his former employer: he must reel in a 
       potential donor-a major "ask"-who, mysteriously, has 
       requested Milo's involvement. But it turns out that the 
       ask is Milo's sinister college classmate Purdy Stuart. And
       the "give" won't come cheap. Probing many themes- or, 
       perhaps, anxieties-including work, war, sex, class, child 
       rearing, romantic comedies, Benjamin Franklin, cooking 
       shows on death row, and the eroticization of chicken wire,
       The Ask is a burst of genius by a young American master 
       who has already demonstrated that the truly provocative 
       and important fictions are often the funniest ones.
