Descriere magazin:
From Penn Jillette of the legendary magic duo Penn & Teller: a rollicking crime caper that will bend your mind like a spoon. Penn Jillette is an atheist, triple-goddamned lunatic, and his book is a glorious Las Vegas lunatic paean to chance and adventure--a page-turning, scabrous, hilarious ride into randomness. --Neil Gaiman Random is everything you would hope from Penn Jillette and so much more. Random numbers are seemingly crazy, unconnected, and unpredictable: this fabulous, wondrously compelling, funny, and original novel is all that too. As for laughs--it passed the the fling-up-the-head-snort-and-slap-the-thigh test a dozen times in the first few pages alone. Hugely recommended. --Stephen Fry, actor/writer Two weeks before his twenty-first birthday, Las Vegas native Bobby Ingersoll finds out he\'s inherited a crushing gambling debt from his scumbag father. The debt is owed to an even scummier bag named Fraser Ruphart who oversees his bottom-rung criminal empire from the classy-adjacent Trump International Hotel. Bobby\'s prospects of paying off the note, which comes due the day he turns twenty-one, are about as dim as the sign on the hotel\'s facade. The two weeks pass in the blink of a (snake) eye, but before Bobby\'s luck runs out, he stumbles upon enough cash to pay off Ruphart and change his family\'s fortune. More importantly, he finds himself with a new, for lack of a better word, faith. Bobby does not consign his big break to a higher power--what Penn Jillette hero ever could? Instead, he devises and devotes himself to Random, a philosophy where his life choices are based entirely on the roll of his lucky dice. What follows is a rollicking exploration into not so much what defines us as what divines us when we give over every decision--from what to eat to whom to marry to how or when to die--to the random fall of two numbered cubes. Random combines the intellectual curiosity of Richard Dawkins with the humor and grit of an Elmore Leonard antihero. Jillette\'s up-on-his-luck Ingersoll is the character we need to help us navigate the chaos of the post-truth era. Well, unless his roll runs cold.
