Mr. Rothbart is a man exploring the events that have shaped him.  In his newest work, My Heart is an Idiot he strikes up conversations with a 100 year old black man on a bus to buffalo, admits to having phone sex, plays tricks on his deaf mother and ended up naked in New York.  His conclusion is that perhaps throughout these misadventures perhaps his heart has been an idiot.
