The story

Carter Fields is a 25-year-old naïve, idealistic hippie/yippie only interested in sexual intercourse, but as the narrator would say "he doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground." He works as a stockbroker in New York City on Wall Street in the late 1960s, but is hindered by his domineering mother in the progress of looking for a more meaningful life. One day Carter visits New York City's Central Park possibly to commit suicide by hanging but fails in the endeavour as the rope breaks. He is then assaulted by a "Fat Black Lady" for staring at people.
