He feels hes made a terrible mistake.He soon learns one of his young sons is interested in drawing nude women and being a bookie for the neighborhood kids. An old friend shows up with a plea to hide out with his family to escape a couple of goons who are after her and the money she stole from an Oregon marijuana farm. And white dogs keep showing up with a curious interest in Lester. Hes odd, full of anxiety and fear, troubled, and making stuff up as he goes.Just like everybody else. Certainly humorous and a bit absurd, Lester Lies Down explores many economic and social issues, including cultural justice in the Deep South, mortality, the value of love in relationships, and the need for compassion for people who are different.
