  • "Victor Mancini, a medical-school dropout, is an antihero for our deranged times. Needing to pay elder care for his mother, Victor has devised an ingenious scam: he pretends to choke on pieces of food while dining in upscale restaurants. He then allows himself to be "saved "by fellow patrons who, feeling responsible for Victor's life, go on to send checks to support him. When he's not pulling this stunt, Victor cruises sexual addiction recovery workshops for action, visits his addled mom, and spends his days working at a colonial theme park. His creator, Chuck Palahniuk, is the visionary we need and the satirist we deserve."@en

  • "Sex addict Victor Mancini works at a colonial reenactment theme park. He tries to hook up with everything on two legs. He courts the love and money of complete strangers via a demented con that might just kill him. But first, Victor must save his dying, delusional mother by seducing and impregnating her comely physician, a task easier said than done. A twisted tale of dysfunction, salvation, love and libido."
  • "Victor Mancini, obsédé sexuel escroc à ses heures, dépense de lourdes sommes pour soigner sa mère atteinte de la maladie d'Alzheimer. Il décide de monter un stratagème : faire mine de s'asphyxier dans de grands restaurants, être sauvé par des clients fortunés en mal d'action et gagner leur compassion pour ainsi se faire entretenir par eux sous de menus prétextes."
