Razorback (Paperback)

<p>Self-employed and unchained from the shackles of a traditional daily routine, Leon is afforded plenty of time for... himself. Especially since his wife, Pickle, has been spending more and more time staying with her sister. </p><p>A habitual procrastinator and ritualistic day-drinker, Leon whiles away his time batch-selecting client emails "Mark as unread", grilling in the driveway, and building up a strong "yellowwater" buzz for his voyeuristic neighborhood walks to the mailbox. But, with an escalating gush of libations spilling through his mouth, a curious encounter with his neighbor and her soon-to-be-estranged husband becomes the catalyst that sends the compulsively introspective-and judgmental-Leon tumbling into an abyss of sweat-drenched ruination.</p><p>Increasingly challenged by what should be mundane exercises in societal engagement, and with the elemental structure of his life in splinters, Leon eventually finds himself face-to-face with the punishing reality of being truly, purely alone... and trapped inside a sprawling pseudo-European chain store famous for their flame-retardant furniture.</p>Hilarious, absurd, and surreal, <i>Razorback</i> is an outrageous modern take on the "superfluous man". An epic disintegration of consciousness and composure that questions the true nature of who we think we know, who we may very well be, and the limits of redemption.
