Reviews
"Sheer, anarchic fierceness of imagination. . . . Raw and vital."- The New York Times "Puts a bleakly humorous spin on self-help, addiction recovery, and childhood trauma. . . . Funny mantra-like prose plows toward the mayhem it portends from the get-go."- The Village Voice "Palahniuk has a vision that's distinctive. Like it or loathe it, Choke cannot be dismissed. Nor can its creator."- Houston Chronicle "Few contemporary writers mix the outrageous and the hilarious with greater zest. . . . Chuck Palahniuk's splenetic, anarchic glee makes him a worthy heir to Ken Kesey."- Newsday, "Sheer, anarchic fierceness of imagination. . . .

Synopsis
Victor Mancini's a medical school dropout with a problem. He needs to pay for elder care for his mother, who's got Alzheimer's. So he comes up with the perfect scam: pretending to choke in upscale restaurants and getting "saved" by fellow diners who, feeling responsible for Victor's life, offer him financial support.Meanwhile, he cruises sexual addiction recovery workshops and spends his days working at Colonial Dunsboro, where his stoner colleagues are sentenced to the stocks for any deviation from the colonial lifestyle. Oh, yeah, and he's desperate to find the truth of his paternity, which his addled mother suggests may be divine.

    Absolutely outstanding experience with this seller from start to finish! The item arrived even earlier than expected, and it was exactly as described in the listing—if not better. It was packaged with great care to ensure it arrived in great condition, which I really appreciated. Communication was top-notch as well; the seller responded promptly to my questions and was friendly and helpful throughout the entire transaction. A+++++

    Product exactly as described, packaging was solid, stuffed with tissue paper all around the volume. Wish the shipping had been a little cheaper, but what do you expect these days with USPS? To sum things up---buy with confidence!
