The Blindfold Test

Read The Blindfold Test Storyline:

A raucous comedy about a paranoid loser who maybe wasn't paranoid enough...In the sixties, Jeffrey Parker briefly attended an antiwar rally. He wasn't all that interested—he just listened to a few speeches, and went home...and nothing was ever the same.In this wildly comic novel, Parker's brief dalliance is the beginning of the end. He never lands a decent job. Women never stick around. He has terrible stretches of bad luck, and is the unwilling victim of just plain bizarre occurances: once, he comes home to find that the final page in every one of his books has been removed.Then Parker discovers that he's been the target of a government plot—like the FBI's real-life COINTELPRO—and the obsession of a rogue FBI agent who just won't give up.This outrageously imaginative debut is reminiscent of John Kennedy Toole's explosive, out-of-nowhere farce A Confederacy of Dunces. Part thriller, part national tragedy, and all hysterical...
