The Good Luck of Right Now by Matthew Quick
Bartholomew Neil has lived his entire with his mother. Now 38, he has never held a job and has no friends. When his mother becomes ill and dies, Bartholomew is on his own for the first time. Finding a form letter from Richard Gere in his mother’s possessions and recalling her fondness for the movie Pretty Woman, Bartholomew decides that the actor may be able to help and begins writing to him.
As Bartholomew struggles to find himself, his world becomes populated with other misfits. He begins seeing a grief councelor but soon realizes that she can’t even solve her own problems. Father McNamee, the now-defrocked priest devoted to his mother, soon moves into the empty house where he spends his time drinking and praying. Bartholomew also becomes close to Max, a profane, cat-loving member of his therapy group and his sister Elizabeth, the librarian Bartholomew loves from afar.
