Lost in the Thicket
Lost in the Thicket is a bold and essential absurdist satire on celebrity culture, outrageous wealth, unlimited power, and our place in society.
Billy Walters, a struggling freelance journalist, hustles for the opportunity of a lifetime and finds himself entangled in the machinations of two immensely wealthy magnates, Sir Peter Croft Junior and Blake Storm. Billy is drawn into the sensational story of a proposed celebrity boxing match between the two billionaires, which soon escalates into something unimaginable. His involvement with two of the richest people in history leads him down a path of moral compromises, naked ambitions, brutal riots, unfair arrests, and ultimately, war, as Billy experiences his ascent and disillusionment within this high-stakes world of media manipulation and corporate power. All Billy has to do to survive is: Navigate the eccentric whims of two billionaires, overcome the spite of an embittered society, and brave the stupidity of people.
Following in the tradition of Catch 22, this is a bold and essential novel that speaks to the spirit of our times.
