Book description
Victor Mancini has devised a complicated scam to pay for his mother's
hospital care: pretend to be choking on a piece of food in a restaurant
and the person who 'saves you' will feel responsible for you for the
rest of their lives. Multiply that a couple of hundred times and you
generate a healthy flow of cheques, week in, week out. Victor also works
at a theme park with a motley group of losers, cruises sex addiction
groups for action, and visits his mother, whose Alzheimer's disease now
hides what may be the startling truth about his parentage. Chuck
Palahniuk is a graduate from the University of Oregon. He lives and
works in Portland, Oregon. He is also the author of
Survivor
, Invisible Monsters
, Fight Club,
Lullaby
and Rant
