Romancing the Absurd 1e uitgave

When financial investigator Tony Trueblé is hired to interview key players in a major lawsuit against a venture capitalist group, his world is turned upside down as he is dragged through a seedy underworld of corruption, dishonesty, and murder. His life and his freedom are put on the line, and he?s tasked not only to get the job done, but to do so without giving in to his insatiable cravings for vodka, weed, and causal, meaningless sex. Sensational, satirical, and sometimes absurd, Romancing the Absurd is a literary murder mystery full of intrigue, suspense, and absurdist, cut-throat behavior. Though nine people die under very bizarre circumstances and a handful of people get screwed (in more than one way), the story takes humorous twists and turns that are sure to leave you laughing and shaking your head in disbelief over the manipulative maneuvers and murderous tactics some folks are willing to use to get ahead in this world. Throughout the story, however, there runs an undercurrent of reflection, hope, and redemption. In their own individual ways, the characters strive to right their wrongs and improve themselves through various pursuits?the writing of this book being one of those pursuits. For Tony, redemption came through writing. He penned this reinvented-autobiographical piece while studying writing at the college level, an experience he also recounts. A thought-provoking tour de force from start to end, Romancing the Absurd is the final result of Tony?s studies, hard work, and shocking struggles with himself, others, and the universe at large. The book also includes an Appendix containing excerpts from a non-fiction book in process, An Owner?s Manual on How to Evolve Your Consciousness.
