Over a billion people are trapped in corporate cubicles worldwide. More than 99% of them are dead. From the first puzzling sentence, Banker?s Holiday ? a euphemism for a federal bank closure ? conjures the bleak and humorous world of C. Stillman Fuller, a workaholic financier who has a psychotic break in the middle of a Monday morning staff meeting. Fuller comes to the sudden, disturbing realization that his ?brooding, luxurious zombies, otherwise known as senior management? have become just that, and that he must either escape, or become one of them. He flees the horror of his discorporate delusions, disguises himself and heads cross-country in an old pick-up. Fuller soon finds himself in an odd, idyllic Shangri-la in Upstate NY. But will he escape the bizarre events that continue to dog him? And can he dispel a thousand-foot Nixon?Banker?s Holiday is Capitalism?s mid-life crisis. Part satirical fantasia, part corporate fantasy & horror, Gary Clemenceau?s debut novel offers a unique solution to the problem of being human in an inhuman world.
