<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"With a twisted sense of humor and a heavy dose of fantasy, Katchadjian takes those things that are so common as to be ordinary--bad bosses, crazy significant others, descent into drug use--and sets them in a realm that brings to mind Kafka or Kojáeve. Our narrator presents us with a constantly moving array of bizarre, philosophically tinged excitement: a slave rebellion in a strange castle on an unnamed island, an attack of flying worms made of ash which either represents Adam's sin or the Oedipal complex, a feral young woman who lives off the grid on whatever she can scrounge, and a hallucinatory root that throws the narrator into a black void, which he comes to fear he may never escape."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>With a twisted sense of humor and a heavy dose of fantasy, Katchadjian takes those things that are so common as to be ordinary--bad bosses, crazy significant others, descent into drug use--and sets them in a realm that brings to mind Kafka or Kojève.</b></p><p>Our narrator presents us with a constantly moving array of bizarre, philosophically tinged excitement: a slave rebellion in a strange castle on an unnamed island, an attack of flying worms made of ash which either represents Adam's sin or the Oedipal complex, a feral young woman who lives off the grid on whatever she can scrounge, and a hallucinatory root that throws the narrator into a black void, which he comes to fear he may never escape.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"If the book overflows with talent, if for moments it borders on genius . . . it's because <i>What To Do</i> . . . is the great contemporary novel on the expansion of meaning, its amplification, its mutation."-- "Damián Tabarovsky on <i>What To Do</i>"<br><br>The overall effect falls somewhere between the delicate constructions of Cesar Aira and Kurt Vonnegut's <i>Slaughterhouse Five</i>.-- "Kirkus Reviews on <i>What To Do</i>"<br>
