Synopsis

WINNER of the 2025 Next Generation Indie Book Award for Humor/Comedy

This episodic novel chronicles the trials and tribulations of Peter Cherches, an obscure Brooklyn writer who suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous tormentors, most notably his next-door neighbor. Cherches's world is overrun with doppelgängers, doppelgängers' doppelgängers, malevolent technology, masks, doubts, and unreliable mirrors. Think of this as a kinder and gentler Book of Job, with New York attitude and borscht belt humor, as well as echoes of Kafka, Borges, and Serling. Rarely has one man's misery been so much fun.
