Mallory's Manly Methods by Thomas Keech

Mallory's Manly Methods by Thomas Keech

Kevin Mallory is so good at lying he has convinced himself he has almost an average life. He tries to use his exceptional skill at prevarication to hang onto his job without doing any work, win the love of his co-worker without recognizing who she really is, take advantage of the young Black man who moves in next door, and manipulate the police and the courts into accepting his warped idea of justice

Mallory pursues his co-worker, Nell, even as his supervisor at the UniCast Cable Company attempts to prove he is cutting off customers' calls. He joins Nell's dysfunctional Employee Cheer Committee as it tries to avoid disaster at the upcoming holiday party. He agrees to cat sit for Nell while she goes on a series of girls' nights out. He buys a rifle for protection from imaginary hoodlums but cannot get the box of bullets open. When Thomas, his neighbor, is assaulted by the police, Mallory impersonates a lawyer and represents him. When he is later criminally charged himself, he summons Nell as a witness, brings his rifle to court, and parks in a handicapped parking spot.

An exceedingly kooky protagonist drives this touching, silly adventure. - Kirkus Reviews.

Keech, Thomas: - Thomas Keech has written four previous critically acclaimed novels dealing with state politics, teenagers entangled in suburban corruption, college romance, and a predatory physician. He sincerely hopes that this dystopian novel of fundamentalist madness is not predictive of the future. He currently lives in a very blue state that has it own problems. He hopes to visit Kansas some day.
