No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Victor Mancini, a medical-school dropout, is an antihero for our deranged times. Needing to pay elder care for his mother, Victor has devised an ingenious scam: he pretends to choke on pieces of food while dining in upscale restaurants. He then allows himself to be โsavedโ by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victorโs life, go on to send checks to support him. When heโs not pulling this stunt, Victor cruises sexual addiction recovery workshops for action, visits his addled mom, and spends his days working at a colonial theme park. His creator, Chuck Palahniuk, is the visionary we need and the satirist we deserve.
BONUS: This ebook edition includes an excerpt from Chuck Palahniuk's Doomed.
