Alex Through the G-whole Glass

Alex was always trying to escape from nearly everything. Escape from all the errors of his past, escape from his maladaptive way of dealing with things, escape from escaping. Always looking for a clean getaway, a fresh start which he normally failed to get meanwhile jumping from escape to escape plan to escape plan like some airforce Captain in Colditz. This time though he has really managed the mother of all escapes.
In this brave new world Alex sees a whole new set of challenges which he must overcome, a whole new set of ways of looking at the world, finds new allies to help him overcome these challenges and if not possibly escape with him instead. Has he jumped out of the frying pan into the fire, should he go back to the frying pan? Should he buy a new frying pan from the supermarket because this one has lost too much of its non stickyness and that thought makes him a bit queasy.
