The Patron Saint of Pinball (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798676641023)

A darkly comic and emotionally-gripping tale, The Patron Saint of Pinball follows the journey of one man as he comes to terms with the inevitability of death while secretly living inside an arcade.

Burdened by the mundane hassles of day-to-day life, fatherhood, and his failed marriage, one man attempts to escape reality. Diagnosed with a terminal illness-and under the guidance of a wild-beatnik, vagrant philosopher named Otto-we follow the journey of a man dissatisfied with life as he makes one final attempt to rectify the path of his existence by taking refuge in the world's largest pinball arcade. All seems to be going according to plan, until late one evening when a botched robbery of the arcade forces our protagonist out of hiding and into the spotlight.

Riddled with poignant and often hilarious recollections of youthful, punk-rock spirit, The Patron Saint of Pinball examines the philosophy of happiness in the pursuit of a life lived with purpose.
