"Palahniuk is a cheerful nihilist with a mordant wit and a taste for scatological humor. Fair warning: some may find his language and imagery offensive." "...CHOKE is an uneven but still raw and vital book, punctuated with outrageous, off-the-wall moments that work as often as not. If the author's adolescent urge to shock is...facile..., his wickedness is something to reckon with as well." Publisher's noteMedical school dropout Victor Mancini comes up with a complicated but ingenious scam to pay for his mother's elder care--pretend to be choking in a restaurant and con the individuals who "save" him into giving him money--while he cruises sex addiction groups for action, and visits his sick mother, whose Alzheimer's disease hides the bizarre truth about his parentage. Reissue. (A Fox Searchlight Pictures film, directed by Clark Gregg, releasing August 2008, starring Angelica Houston & Sam Rockwell) (General Fiction) AnnotationVictor works as a guide at a colonial village, where he must stay in 18th-century costume. He moonlights as a con artist. His mother is in a nursing home, and in his spare time Victor visits her and listens to her stories about the good old days when she and his father--whom Victor never knew--were in and out of jail. Then she begins to imply that Victor was conceived by means of a miracle involving the sacred foreskin of Jesus. What's Victor to believe?
