Rats on Strings

Rats on Strings was my first book, which I wrote in 2010-2011 while working a 60 hour a week, soul-sucking job. The book is available at this link and through the link on the sidebar.

This is the description:

Just as he is in the midst of being dumped by his girlfriend, a miserable New York lawyer is struck by an idea—an idea that he believes might be his escape from the soul-sucking practice of law. He embarks on a quest to fulfill his bizarre vision, and finds himself the unlikely hero of a very strange adventure.


Yeah, it is basically a satirical account of an alternate universe me, dealing with a non-existent work-life balance, coping with a breakup, and looking for a way out. It was received well by some, especially those entertained by
Bright Lights, Big City by Jay McInerney, which I didn't read until after finishing my own book. Bright Lights, Big City resonated with me, and it's a book I recommend to anyone living the work hard play hard lifestyle in NYC or any other big city.

All of Rats on Strings is on this page of the blog.

Best,
Guy
