Book Description
What if you are in your office minding your business and you receive news that a very dangerous man is in your midst? And then what appears to be a world class dictator walks in? There are things in life you cannot ignore. For a bunch of motley characters, the unexpected event ignited the strangest, funniest manhunt on the Equator. Then he barged straight in, full of anticipation... There was a small man, slightly balding and in his late forties or early fifties, looking into the very wide mirror on the wall. He turned.. .without saying anything to identify himself, but his eyes gave him away. They were so nervous they looked as if they were about to crack like glass... Then the small man put his hand into his shirt pocket. At that moment, a man in his twenties walked into the washroom, whistling a tune casually. The small man froze and took his hand out of his pocket it was empty... Then he turned to the mirror and pretended that there was something in his eye.

Los Angeles, Or American Pharaohs
Author: Robin Wyatt Dunn
Publisher: Deep Sett Press
ISBN: 1468148354
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Robert, a 30-something independent filmmaker in Los Angeles, is hearing voices in his head. Alice Hershlug, a Jewish movie star who recently won the Academy Award, is slowly torturing him via The Grapevine, a kind of mental telephone.Hoovey Weinerschniztel, a movie producer in New York City, is in love with his plastic telephone and blas� about his recent rape and imprisonment in his office closet of one of his former employees.The novel appears to be an Anti-Semitic rant, written by a lonely Jew who has apparently been accused of being a child molester. It cuts rapidly back and forth between the narrator's vitriolic prose poems which accuse American Jews and other plutocrats of ruining the country, the trials and tribulations of Robert as he navigates Hollywood and the mental health system, and the machinations of several Hollywood insiders as they stab each other in the back to rise to the top.The island of Manhattan turns into a sailing ship and blasts through the strait of Gibraltar on the way to visit Jerusalem, a psychiatric treatment facility gets possessed by some kind of evil demon named Cheeto, and Hoovey Weinerschnitzel abandons his religion to found an evil cult.Part political diatribe, part philosophical essay, part picaresque, the novel explores the implications of the new post-2008 U.S. economy on the human psyche, relations between Jew and Gentile, between American and Israeli Jews, between thought and reality, and tries to figure out where the hell America can go next.
