But Leonard has been managing a crisis of his own, a strange and debilitating urge that's held him captive his entire adult life: he likes to eat things with no nutritional value--soap, pencils, paint chips, you name it. He's been able to hide these compulsions behind a professional veneer, but when he signs an important client, an anti-social file clerk unwittingly discovers Leonard's secret and blackmails him into accommodating her own bizarre culinary indulgences. A picaresque set in the months leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, [this novel] examines the earliest days of our post-truth era, where a scandal-obsessed news cycle and social media's rise as an information platform gave birth to a culture so addicted to recreational outrage we now shame a different public figure each week to keep ourselves entertained"--
