Doug Merit’s middle name is damage control. Working in public relations for GE, he’s ready for any challenge: a teenaged son who still plays with trains, a thirteen-year-old daughter who hasn’t spoken to him in six months, a first-grader who is a little too devoted to animal rights, and a wife who just might have whispered a month or two ago she didn’t love him. No problem! He’s got it covered.
But the events set in motion on a snowy night will put Doug’s carefully constructed version of reality to the test.
Absurd and profound, Damage Control is a comic rollercoaster ride that explores the moral challenge of work as well as a family’s strange impulse to self-destruct and its ultimate need to come together.
"Damage Control," the debut novel by Michael Horner, is a hilarious, often heart-wrenching, but wholly uplifting story of realistic proportions about a hopelessly positive and determined young man named Doug Merit. Horner's smart and remarkably comic turns of phrase and his vivid characterizations, seen through Merit's wide-eyed point of view, creates an exciting and recognizable parody of hectic and fraught family and corporate life in America.It is a candid look at contemporary American family life and the moral conflicts good people must face when trying to maintain equilibrium in a topsy-turvy world of political madness amid realities of corporate indifference and scandal.—Colin Harrington, The Berkshire Eagle"Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
