Book: Soffocare (Choke) Author: Chuck Palahniuk Publisher: Piccola Biblioteca Oscar Mondadori Genre: American fiction, Satire, Countercultural fiction Condition: Used, Good. (Good overall condition. Cover as in photo. Minimal signs of wear. See photo.) From the irreverent genius Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club. Victor Mancini, a failed medical student and sex addict, has found a bizarre way to fund his sick mother’s care: pretending to choke in crowded restaurants. When he is rescued by diners, they, feeling responsible for his life, regularly send him money and postcards. This stratagem of a chaotic life is full of uncomfortable truths. Between therapy sessions, a job at a colonial history theme park (where his mother is hospitalised) and the discovery that he may be the clone of Jesus Christ, Victor moves through a world in which everything is fake and decency is a rare commodity. Soffocare is a dark, hilarious and provocative novel that explores the sick relationship between mother and son, addiction, faith and the desperate search for meaning in a society obsessed with appearance.
