Chasing Your Tail (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781774032770)

CHASING YOUR TAIL is both humorous and sobering. It's the story of a young man getting nowhere fast in life, who is growing more disillusioned by the minute and has become so fed up with the situation he's about ready to explode. Jim works in a cubicle all day long. Sometimes it comes close to driving him mad. He's a writer on the side and is just as frustrated in that department. His best friend Will lives just down the road in Philly and he goes there as often as he can, just to get his mind off of things; the two of them go endlessly barhopping all night long and wile away the daytime hours in equally fruitless and unproductive ways. Jim's parents are money-obsessed and his little brother is a thoroughly depressed kid who can't seem to get his act together either. Jim goes to his parents' house for dinner and fends them off any way he can, goes out for drinks with the weirdos from work, goes to the bars by himself in ill-fated attempts to pick up girls, obsesses over his manager, the severe-looking woman with the bossy streak he loves so much, dreams about his girlfriend from back in school, the one who got away. He takes road trips to Canada and sits in parks and goes on long aimless walks at night and all the while he's going nowhere and knows it, but is determined to continue on his quest to find an alternative no matter what. CHASING YOUR TAIL is lively and high-spirited, and written in an irreverent off-the-cuff style.
