Rootie Kazootie
by Lawrence NaumoffRootie Kazootie brilliantly illuminates the promises and pitfalls of love: what we hope to gain from love, and the strategies we adopt to overcome the barriers raised by modern life. Each of the three major characters in this story of a marriage under stress--husband, wife, and the other woman next door--has some sense of what love should offer. But it is Caroline, the wife, who holds the purest vision and most passionately pursues it. To Caroline, the rich and recently divorced Cynthia represents all that is wrong with the modern world: selfish ambition, deceit, and the valuing of things more than people. Cynthia herself is aware that something is missing in her life. When she reaches for Caroline's husband, however, Caroline responds with a fury that is both astounding and hilarious. She takes the kind of direct action that the rest of us, fettered by convention, only dream about. Going straight for the jugular in what may be one of the most comic scenes in modern literature, Caroline smashes a tractor into Cynthia's house and later beats her up in her front yard. Caroline's attempts to reawaken in her husband, Richard, the tender and passionate love that defines her world are maddening, funny, poignant, and, ultimately, winning. Caroline is trying to preserve not only her marriage but also a childhood world of innocence, wonder, and delight--the lost Eden we all, at some level, long for.
