Ebook short description
All Jack Schlitz wants is a second chance at success. When he finds it, as a purveyor of “natural products” with his partners in MacNatural Organics, it proves a velvet prison he half-heartedly longs to escape. Along the way to his epiphany, and beyond, the novel presents a comic view of one microcosm of our marketing-driven consumer culture, where all that really matters is a sale.Extended description
All Jack Schlitz wants is a second chance at success—the mid-life opportunity to vindicate his youthful dreams and promise. When he finds it, as a purveyor of “natural products” with his partners in MacNatural Organics, prosperity ultimately forces him to question what he really values, what matters in his life. He grows to regard the business as half sincere, half populated by hucksters hawking dubious concoctions on a well-intentioned public. For Jack, the terms of success prove a velvet prison he half-heartedly longs to escape. Along the way to his epiphany, and beyond, the novel presents a comic view of one microcosm of our marketing-driven consumer culture, where all that really matters is a sale.Tags
