Description de l’éditeur
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 “saved” by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor’s life, go on to send checks to support him. When he’s 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.
Avis d’utilisateurs
Excellent writing
Very creative story but the thing that made this book so good was the writing which was amazing.
Wow
Must read if you are a chuck fan
Side note: Don't watch the movie. It was not good at all
My favorite book
This is my favorite book of all time. Funny, dark, and devastatingly bleak at times, this book will keep you reading and craving more.
