California Bound and Gagged
Fear and loathing in San-Dementia
by
Marc Luc Carrier
Doctor Nigel Fetherstonhaugh (pronounced Fanshaw) leaves the dreary museum he curates in London for the job of a lifetime, head of works on paper in one of the world's biggest, most prestigious museums: the Algur and Elizabeth Paddocks Museum of Art and Antiquities in San-Dementia, California. But things just don't work out as well as he had expected. His ignorance of American political correctness lands him in hot water and makes him a frequent visitor to the human resources office for sensitivity training. This situation is compounded by his wife Horsey who goes full California, plastic surgery and all! She also leaves him for another man, or woman...it's hard to determine. Meanwhile, Doctor Fetherstonhaugh's secretary, Miss Cramp, introduces him to the joys of S&M. How does Doctor Nigel Fetherstonhaugh (pronounced Fanshaw) end up being extradited from the U.S.A. for being an undesirable alien? Why does the voice on his GPS shower abuse on him in a Brooklyn accent? Why is he listed as a dangerous pervert by the San-Dementia police? Read the book and find out.
Marc Luc Carrier is a Montreal-based author, poet and podcast producer. California Bound and Gagged follows Homing, his first novel and a resounding critical success. When asked about this most recent tale, he describes it as, "Monty Python baking in the California sun!"
