About this audiobook
A gigantic wind brings the enigmatic Innocent Smith to Beacon House, shattering the calm of its residents, while his eccentric behavior during an absurd trial challenges every convention of sanity. Accused of attempted murder and bigamy, Smith turns the proceedings into a profound defense of joy and the vitality of life. This jubilant philosophical comedy turns the mundane upside down to celebrate the thrill of simply being alive.
