To Rise Again At A Decent Hour: A Novel

"Paul O’Rourke is a dentist with a healthy (well, actually pretty unhealthy) sense of pessimism and despair. When he discovers that he’s being impersonated online, he tries to track down the impostors, with bizarrely mixed results. A story of faith and its opposite — whatever that may be — Joshua Ferris’ third book, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, is possibly the funniest, weirdest American novel of the year."
