From the first puzzling sentence, Banker's Holiday—a euphemism for a federal bank closure—conjures the bleak and humorous world of Cincinnatus Stillman Fuller, a billionaire financier who suffers a breakdown in the middle of a Monday morning staff meeting.
Fuller comes to the sudden, disturbing realization that his "brooding, luxurious zombies, otherwise known as senior management" have become just that, and that he must either escape, or become one of them.
Fuller flees the discorporate horror, disguises himself as a janitor, and heads crosscountry in an old pick-up to an odd Shangri-la in Upstate NY. But will he escape the bizarre phantasms that continue to dog him? And can anyone dispel a thousand-foot Nixon?
Part satirical fantasia, part corporate fantasy and horror, Gary Clemenceau's singular debut novel—UNEXPURGATED FOR THE FIRST TIME—illustrates Capitalism's mid-life crisis, and offers a unique solution to the problem of being human in an increasingly inhuman world.
