On the day his big time ambitions seem about to be realized, Chandler “Chancey” Haste glances into the rearview mirror of the limousine that bears him across Manhattan's Triboro Bridge and catches the reflection of a scorching affair from his past overleaping continents to engulf him . . .
Chancey On Top is an irreverent novel that exposes, with wicked insight and aplomb, the strikingly similar hypocrisies that underlie romantic love and modern business. It chronicles the journey of a picaresque protagonist who pursues success, sex, love and enlightenment on three continents, and finds too much of everything.
The story begins with a backward glance to a bouncing check and a reckless antipodean infatuation. It sweeps through marbled Word Trade Center offices where the sweet life seems utterly assured. It ends in the shadows of a murky English mansion where the hero discovers the price of ambition, the value of love, and the meaning of dreams.
"A magnificent yarn . . . funny and sexy . . . racy and contentious . . . literary and erudite . . . ultimately profound and moving. Captures the inner conflicts of conscience and provides authentic insights into attachments and transitions, love and enlightenment, and the struggles so many executives experience."
—Harry Levinson Ph.D., clinical psychologist; author, CEO: Corporate Leadership in Action; professor, Harvard Medical School
"Those who find their wisdom in wild and witty packaging will love Chancey On Top . . . a beautifully written, deeply moving novel that chronicles a riveting psychological journey that sweeps the reader to a shattering catharsis. The end comes all too quickly, but the characters live on."
—Bernard Berkowitz, Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist, co-author, How To Be Your Own Best Friend
"Funny, sexy, surreal, captivating, brilliant-and the kind of thing that upsets the PC police. Contains a wealth of diverse information, can be read on many levels, and raises profound ethical questions. Beguiling, complex characters and an intricate spellbinding plot. It all lingers provocatively in the memory."
