Book Description
======
Choke follows Victor Mancini and his friend Denny through a few months
of their lives with frequent flashbacks to the days when Victor was
a child.[1] He had grown up moving from one foster home to another,
as his mother was found to be unfit to raise him. Several times throughout
his childhood, his mother would kidnap him from his various foster parents,
though every time they would eventually be caught, and he would again
be remanded over to the governmental child welfare agency.
In the present day setting of the book, Victor is now a man in his mid-twenties
who left medical school in order to find work to support his feeble
mother who is now in a nursing home. He cannot afford the care that
his mother is receiving so he resorts to being a con man. He consistently
goes to various restaurants and purposely causes himself to choke mid-way
through his meal, luring a "good Samaritan" into saving his life. He
keeps a detailed list of everyone who saves him and sends them frequent
letters about fictional bills he is unable to pay. The people feel so
sorry for him that they send him cards and letters asking him about
how he’s doing and even continue to send him money to help him with
the bills.
While growing up, Victor’s mother taught him numerous conspiracy theories
and obscure medical facts which both confused and frightened him. This
and his constant moves from one home to another have left Victor unable
to form lasting and stable relationships with women. Victor looked up
to a man he saw on a porn site because he knew exactly what he wanted,
and decided that he had enough of something he would never need it,
ergo if he was loved by enough people he would never need to love anyone.
Victor therefore finds himself getting sexual gratification from women
in sexual addiction support groups.
The narrative is episodic, and is presented out of chronological order.
This is a writing style common to the author’s books.
