Choke
- a hilarious satire involving sex addiction and Alzheimers
Victor Mancini, a medical-school dropout, is an antihero for our deranged times. Needing to pay elder care for his mother, Victor has devised an ingenious scam: he pretends to choke on pieces of food while dining in upscale restaurants. He then allows himself to be â‚¬Å“savedâ‚¬Â by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victorâ‚¬s life, go on to send checks to support him. When heâ‚¬s not pulling this stunt, Victor cruises sexual addiction recovery workshops for action, visits his addled mom, and spends his days working at a colonial theme park. His creator, Chuck Palahniuk, is the visionary we need and the satirist we deserve.
