Inhaltsangabe

Tim Phelan is an optimistic, twenty-one-year-old college graduate who is determined to build his future on two solid pillars: meeting the woman of his dreams, and building a financial fortune.

Three months after taking a dream job that promises to put him on the fast track to luxury-home ownership and country club living, Tim’s plans begin to unravel: his brain and digestive tract seem to have entered into a diabolical conspiracy, and they appear hell-bent on destroying his ambitious plans, his confidence, and so much more. But why are they suddenly betraying him at the most inopportune times—like dates and business meetings?

Set amidst the rigid expectations of a polite society where mentioning bodily functions is taboo, Romance, Riches, and Restrooms is an offbeat memoir about one man’s desperate quest to conceal and conquer Irritable Bowel Syndrome before he becomes a penniless recluse. Follow the zany odyssey of this buttoned-down, self-conscious man as he struggles to navigate the high-profile world of investment banking and the image-conscious San Francisco dating scene while secretly experimenting with alternative treatments such as colonic hydrotherapy, hypnosis, building “dams”, and “avalanche blasting”. Will this excessively regular guy find happiness?
