Lord Vishnu's Love Handles
Author(s): Will Clarke
Travis Anderson has a psychic gift. Or so he thinks. So far he's used his premonitions only to acquire the external trappings of success -- pretty wife, big house, shiny Range Rover. But when ominous visions invade his consciousness, his yuppie contentment is threatened and his business faces an audit from the IRS.
Drowning in mounting financial problems and apparent mental illness, Travis clings to a raft of booze and pills. An intervention lands him in a rehab facility with outlandish ideas about healing mind and body. His sole counsel is no 12-stepper, but a Hindu holy man who claims to be the final incarnation of Lord Vishnu, the Hindu god who is the preserver of the universe.
Review(s):
"Wry and inventive...a spoof this promising is worth celebrating."
-- Mike Shea, Texas Monthly
"With his over-the-top debut, author Will Clarke makes the leap from fringe author to mainstream success."
-- Michael Hoinski, Austin-American Statesman
"A trippy tale reminiscent of Douglas Coupland's All Families Are Psychotic or Tom Robbins's Another Roadside Attraction."
-- Robert Wilonsky, Dallas Observer
