Ebook {Epub PDF} Soft by Rupert Thomson

Thomson's latest finds three very different characters--an aimless waitress, a reluctant hit man, and an ambitious young marketing executive--linked by the sudden success of a new soft drink. But a closer look confirms the feeling that Soft! continues the author's fascination with the way science can bend and shape the destinies of all sorts of nonscientific people/5(6). Rupert Thomson, author of The Insult ("A psychological thriller that has just about everything" --Cleveland Plain Dealer), here explores the price of ambition, the difficulty of change or escape, and the needs that drive us or that we ourselves create; and in Soft! he again transforms the conventions of noir--whether contract-killing or romance 3/5(1). In Rupert Thomson's new novel, Soft!, an advertising executive's half-cocked, late-night inspiration becomes an ad-campaign with a singular, sinister design in this surreal thriller about soft drinks, stress-fried ad-men, down-on-their-luck thugs, sleep study clinics and subliminal conditioning.
