Chapter 1

Percival D. Finch is stuck.His existence is one of monotony, isolation, and rejected texts. His friends call him only when they require something from him, his work is a soul-crushing corporate existence, and even his own relatives don't fully understand him. But when a random message draws him into something much larger than himself, he's confronted with the one thing he's been running from: change.A insightful, witty, and curiously funny exploration of contemporary loneliness, The Unseen Life of Percival D. Finch examines what occurs when a regular man crosses one barrier beyond his carefully constructed world.
