McSweeney's 35
In Bill Cotter's Fever Chart, Jerome Coe, having spent most of his life medicated, electroshocked, and institutionalized, finds himself homeless on the coldest night of the century—and so, with nowhere else to go, he accepts a ride out of New England from an old love's ex-girlfriend. It doesn't quite work out, but he make it to New Orleans, and a new life—complete with a bandaged hand, world-champion grilled-cheese sandwiches, and only the occasional psychotic break. Things get better, and then, of course, they get worse.
