O knihe

Finn Riley does everything he is supposed to, and a whole bunch of other stuff he probably should not. By day, the middle-aged, stay-at-home New York City dad dotes on the health and well-being of his cancer-stricken wife, helicopter-parents the quote/unquote "gifted and talented" son he calls the Prince of New York, and struggles mightily to eke out a living in an industry he has already led a national protest against. By night, for reasons surely only he can fathom, he takes on the persona of a character called The Curmudgeon Avenger, raising a banner of righteous indignation, social vigilantism, and incipient lunacy in his battle against what he perceives as the many obvious ills of the modern world: namely, maddeningly unaware & iPhone-obsessed Manhattan pedestrians, the proliferation of unwarranted FFM threesomes for the obviously undeserving Millennial male, and way too many god-damned frozen yogurt shops in the East Village. It's not all fun and games for Finn though. Far from it, in fact, as Death looms. Death looms. It refuses to offer Finn himself any respite, his own sweet sleep, but for his wife and his city the Grim Reaper may already have come calling. Against that, Finn and his Avenger will fight...
