Larry Wyler is frustrated with life in St Paul and his marriage to an earnest Democrat out to save the world. His bestselling novel, 'Spacious Skies', earns him a ticket to Manhattan, a million-dollar apartment with a fabulous terrace and an office at 'The New Yorker' magazine.
None of this, however, saves Wyler from writer's block and his follow-up novel 'Amber Waves Of Grain' bombs badly. An invitation to write a newspaper advice column 'Ask Mr Blue' provides a much needed distraction. Slowly, painfully. Wyler finds a measure of clarity for his own life, and then sets out to win back his wife's affections.
