About this product
Product Information
"Lord Vishnu's Love Handles" is the story of a man who is teetering on the edge of financial ruin and insanity until a couple of secret agents teach him what it really means to lose his mind.Travis Anderson has a psychic gift. Or so he thinks. So far he's milked his premonitions only to acquire an upper-middle-class lifestyle -- pretty wife, big house, and a shiny Range Rover -- without having to make any real effort. But recent visions threaten his yuppie contentment. Haunted by omens of impending cancers, stillborn babies, and personal train wrecks, he is compelled to make a series of inaccurate and horrifying prophecies that humiliate him in front of his fellow country club members. The IRS gets Travis's number, too, demanding an audit of his sloppy bookkeeping. Drowning in mounting financial problems and apparent mental illness, Travis tries booze, pills, even golf to stay afloat, but nothing works. His wife and friends are forced to stage an intervention. Travis is in danger of losing his family, his career, and ultimately, his sanity. That is, until he meets a Hindu holy man in rehab who claims to be the final incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Suddenly, the tragically shallow Travis is saddled with the responsibility of bettering mankind and saving the world.

Reviews
"I loved Lord Vishnu's Love Handles. It's a great and unashamed page-turner, full of fabulous characters. I just wish remote viewers really were that interesting."-- Jon Ronson, author of Them: Adventures with Extremists and The Men Who Stare at Goats, "This book says more about the meaning of mankind than the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, and The Hunt for Red October combined."-- David Gordon Green, director, George Washington, All the Real Girls, and Undertow, "Lord Vishnu's Love Handles is an entertaining and gritty journey into the supernatural, full of wit and surprises at every turn."-- Tony Hawk, world champion skater and author of Hawk: Occupation: Skateboarder, "Lord Vishnu's Love Handles is mind-boggling and wonderful. It's the wackiest, craziest genre-defying, can't-put-it-down book I ever read. Will Clarke is part David Sedaris, part Dave Eggers, part Charlie Kaufman, Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Robbins, and Kurt Vonnegut...and a 100 percent original Will Clarke."-- Sara Pritchard, author of Crackpots, "A twisted, hilarious, amphetamine-fueled parable for our time."-- S.R. "Rob" Bindler, producer/director, "Hands on a Hard Body"
