Self-Induced
Will you take the bartender to a Narcotics
Anonymous meeting or will you visit your girlfriend’s crazy mother and her pet
goat Sinbad? Self-Induced: A New Age Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Novel is one part
magical realism, one part social satire and one part addiction biography
blended together. The lives of three men
in Arizona become increasingly intertwined as they struggle with drug use,
chaotic relationships and disheartening jobs.
A bartender is diagnosed with a terminal illness by a hack dentist and lives
as though his days are numbered until he is arrested and his apartment catches
fire. He then must begin to deal with
the wreckage of his debauchery. A
salesclerk at CopyWorld in an emotionally draining relationship learns to
mentally escape through a dream walking process aided by nicotine patches,
post-its and a tape recorder. Meanwhile
an artist receives a mysterious grant and travels to New Zealand for help from
a hypnotist to fulfill his contract and meet the looming deadline.
