About this product

Synopsis
Victor Mancini, a clinical-faculty dropout, is an antihero for our deranged times. Desiring to pay elder love his mom, Victor has devised an ingenious rip-off: he pretends to choke on pieces of meals while dining in upscale eating locations. He then enables himself to be saved by fellow patrons who, feeling accountable for Victor s life, drag on to send checks to present a purchase to him. When he s no longer pulling this stunt, Victor cruises sexual dependancy 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 desire and the satirist we deserve.”

Opinions
“Sheer, anarchic fierceness of creativeness . . . [A] raw and primarily the most famous book.” –The Contemporary York Cases “Few up-to-the-minute writers mix the drag and the hilarious with greater zest. . . . Chuck Palahniuk’s splenetic, anarchic glee makes him a excellent inheritor to Ken Kesey.” Newsday “Palahniuk displays a Swiftian gift for satire, besides to a knack for crafting mesmerizing sentences.” –San Francisco Examiner “Puts a bleakly humorous drag on self-serve, dependancy recovery, and childhood trauma . . . [F]unny mantra-care for prose plows against the mayhem it portends from the assemble-drag.” — The Village Verbalize “Sheer, anarchic fierceness of creativeness . . .
