Sold As Is Kal Rosenberg It was summer, 1976, when a major psychotic episode ended Corey Doctoroff’s successful career and also wrecked his marriage. He accepts a job selling used cars “until something else comes along,” and becomes the unlikely denizen in a psychedelic world of rituals, easy money, fast women, quaaludes, cocaine and Jamaican Gold. So begins Corey’s descent and sojourn, mired in a bizarre subculture to which few are privy. By day, he lives an eat-or-be-eaten life on the car lot. By night, his inner self ponders universal mysteries. Corey’s battle to reconstruct himself and reintegrate his two halves is a swirling landscape of extreme mood swings, youthful dalliances, venomous contempt for psychiatrists, a love affair with his social worker, his oddball buddies—Boychik, The Fish, Beach Ball, Half-Deal Harry, and Jaws—illuminating the metaphor for life that was found on stickers pasted to the windows of used cars: “Sold as is — with all faults — no warranty expressed or implied.” ISBN-13: 978-1-933016-17-7 ISBN-10: 1-933016-17-5 $16.95 (In Canada: $20.95) Fiction.
