Choke - Audio CD - Unabridged Author:Chuck Palahniuk From the master of the dark and the depraved, whose Fight Club earned him a cult following, comes a novel about Victor Mancini -- 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 ... more »so reaping sympathy checks from fellow diners who "save" him. Meanwhile, he happens to be an incorrigible sex addict who cruises 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. Mordantly funny, taunting, and, at times, as thought-provoking as it is weird, Choke is a satiric -- and unsettling -- romp through our 'norm'-driven world.
