Karl fails to control his embarrassing and shameful bad habit at his dead-end telemarketing job.Pagé weaves together narratives that speak of people adrift in the conflicting tides of the first decades of the twenty-first century in a novel that echoes the works of Lynda Barry.|In this darkly funny debut from Lucie Pagé, characters collide in the most unexpected ways as they search to create meaning and relationships in their lives.What begins as a search for a lost dog propels a group of unconnected characters into a difficult journey of self-discovery.
