A Calling for Charlie Barnes - Grand Format

Charlie Barnes is a mid-century man devoted to his newspaper and his landline. He's a striver, a romantic and a thoroughgoing capitalist. But then the Great Recession hits, alongside a heavy dose of bad news, and he's dragged into our troubled age. Everyone he knows - his business clients, friends, ex-wives, present wife and children - all have competing opinions of who he really is. Forced to rethink his life from top to bottom and on short notice, he finds himself asking : What makes a man real ? What makes him good ? And how does the story we tell about ourselves line up with the lives that we actually live ?
