At the start of the novel, Sube fantasizes about the manhood that comes with a mustache, leading him to experiment with a potent hair restorer in an attempt to accelerate his transformation. This scheme quickly spirals into a series of whimsical escapades when he enlists his friend Gizzard Tobin’s help, which includes shadowing an unsuspecting neighbor believed to be the mother of the foundling baby.
