Banker's Holiday A Novel of Fiscal Irregularity

Can anyone dispel a thousand-foot Nixon?From the first puzzling sentence, Banker's Holiday -- a euphemism for a federal bank closure -- conjures the bleak and humorous world of C. StillmanFuller, a workaholic financier who suffers a serious setback in the middle of a Monday morning staff meeting: Fuller comes to the sudden, disturbing realization that his "brooding, luxurious zombies, otherwise known as senior management" have become just that, and that he must either escape, or become one of them. He flees the horror of his discorporate dystopia, and his own growing hunger, disguises himself as a janitor and heads cross-country in an old pick-up. Fuller soon finds himself in an odd, idyllic Shangri-la in Upstate NY. But will he escape the bizarre events that continue to dog him? Part satirical fantasia, part corporate fantasy & horror, Gary Clemenceau's singular debut novel illustrates Capitalism's mid-life crisis, and offers a unique solution to the problem of being human in an increasingly inhuman world.
