Victor hat eine ziemlich abgefahrene Idee, um seiner Mutter den nötigen Krankenhausaufenthalt zu finanzieren. Ob das auf Dauer gut geht, ist eine andere Frage. Bitterböses Portrait der US Gesellschaft.
Kurzbeschreibung:
'Choke is Fight Club for sex addicts' Independent on Sunday
BY THE AUTHOR OF FIGHT CLUB
Klappentext:
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.
