Inhaltsangabe

From the screenwriter of The Zero Theorem comes the book that inspired the film. Roberts is not interested in food, sex, or any of life's pleasures. Hapless yet endearing, the morbidly pale protagonist of The Call spends his days at the computer in his windowless apartment, waiting for a phone call that will give his life meaning. But when his phone proves insufficient, it takes a techno-savvy dominatrix to help our hero upgrade his existential hardware and a pre-pubescent hacker genius to break his solipsistic shell. In this modern parable of man's search for meaning, Pat Rushin's playful prose and sharp humor turn what may be a hopeless journey into an incredibly fun read.

Aus dem Klappentext

Pat Rushin is out of his f***ing mind. I like that in a writer; that and his daredevil usage of the semi-colon and asterisk make The Call unputdownable. Terry Gilliam, director of The Zero Theorem "An original, energetic, tough, comical, gifted writer." Stephen Dixon "Pat Rushin is a charmer." John Barth
