Today is the Day!
The official release day of Paul J. Barker's 'Timothy’s Take-Out', that is. What better time to make the acquaintance of this extraordinary novel?
(PRWEB) October 9, 2004 -- Has there ever been a book as appealing across the
board as Timothy’s Take-Out? Whether you’ve been burned by love, despise your
job, or flat-out don’t know where you’re headed in life, you will find solace
within the pages of this cynical masterwork.
Although it’s only just
being formally released, Timothy’s Take-Out has already captured the public’s
imagination. Folks seem both drawn to and disturbed by (in a good way?) the
book’s plethora of diverse, ostensibly discordant elements: summer at the beach,
satanic cults, young love, misanthropy, and so on.
At the core of this
glorious mosaic is Carl Fellows, upon whom the gods have bestowed precisely one
gift: intestinal fortitude. His bright spirit sees him through crisis after
crisis, failure after failure, but this is before he runs smack into the wall
that is Timothy’s Take-Out. (Talk about an irresistable force meeting an
immovable object...)
The shy and somewhat reclusive Mr. Fellows is
totally out of his element working at Timothy’s, which he is quick to dub “The
Restaurant of the Damned.” He loathes his co-workers, loathes those customers he
sees as obnoxious, and grabs like a drowning man for anything remotely positive
in his life. Although he remains superficially polite and obliging, underneath
he is becoming a monster.
Author Paul J. Barker is “cautiously
optimistic” about his novel’s chances in the marketplace. He is confident it is
the equal of any humorous novel out there, but is only too aware of the
obstacles that first time authors from fledgling publishing houses face. His
dream? That discriminating readers everywhere will embrace the book, and drive
it straight to the top of the bestseller list!
The easiest way to obtain
a copy of Timothy’s Take-Out is to visit Mr. Barker’s website (www.dontlikemyjob.com),
but it can also be ordered through most online bookstores and, of course,
amazon.com
