Joseph Geist is a self-deluding waste of space, a perpetual graduate student who has done nothing with his life so far. He has recently been kicked out of a shared apartment by his girlfriend (who pays all the bills), and leaves with little more than what he can carry in one bag and a half bust of
Nietzsche’s head, his only possession which The philosopher is seduced by wealth, when he answers an ad for a position as a conversationalist. Joseph eventually gives in to some less than noble emotions that are unfamiliar to him. Paranoia, jealousy, panic, and hysteria. There’s a growing inevitability to the story as the "crime" unfolds. This just can't end well for our man Joseph.
I am not sure if I
liked this book. I can say for sure it is unforgettable.
