"Brock Downsized" - the story When the prostheses and condom
manufacturing factory where Bill Brock has been Communications
Manager goes belly-up Brock finds himself out on the street. In
this comic but ultimately serious novel, Brock is obliged to take
up the somewhat undignified role of wedding videogra pher. At the
same time he is suddenly faced with a series of mid-life setbacks.
His prostate goes floppy down, and the jolly, high-spirited doctors
pre scribe every type of wrong medication, while at the same time
the nutty sexy wife of his nutty psychiatrist tries to seduce him,
his aged father is dying in a nursing home, his nextdoor neigh bor
draws him unwittingly into a kiddyporn ring, and his artist son is
implicated as a terrorist storing fertilizer and metal bomb parts
in the family's backyard, while his daughter's infatuation with a
married man is about to drive him crazy. After all this, and quite
a bit more, Brock finds himself, one could say, a bit discomfitted.
Brock's spirit is indomitable, however, as he flounders about
attempting to gain control over his life. The humor is
laugh-out-loud comical, and yet the book has moments that are often
deeply moving, while eschewing false sentimentality.
