As his wedding day approaches, Zachary King, a man with a lucrative job, rent-free Manhattan apartment, and stunning fiancée, begins to wonder if his entire life might be a big mistake, doubts that are only enhanced by the arrival of Norm, Zack's freewheeling, overbearing father, after a twenty-year absence. Reprint. 30,000 first printing.
As 30-something Zack awaits his medical verdict after discovering blood in his ******, he is forced to confront his life, and realizes that he is trapped in a soul-sucking corporate job, and about to marry a woman he doesn't love. Zack's complications are further complicated with the arrival of his philandering, deadbeat father, and the niggling notion that he might be in love with his dead best friend's widow. Jonathan Tropper's antic, broad, crude, but warm-hearted novel is a juggling act of dysfunction, and the reader will turn the pages in horrified anticipation of the moment when everything comes tumbling down.
