Mainiac

J. Ladd Zorn, Jr.

An aimless alcoholic leaves his father’s home in Los Angeles to follow the one woman who has shown him kindness after she relocates to Maine. His cross‑country trip includes encounters with old friends, fleeting romances, and culturally revealing detours that force him to confront his own failures. In the coastal town of Camden, he finds work on a lobster boat and becomes part of a small community of locals. As he struggles with addiction and self‑doubt, he tries to find the courage to tell the woman he loves how he feels, uncertain whether he deserves her or a better life.
