In the Belly of the Bell-Shaped Curve

Meet Turk, a frustrated claims adjuster who feels like a work monkey spinning his wheels for an insurance company. He desires to throw a monkey wrench in the works and develops a plan to free him from his boring life and make him rich. It might be one of the best fiction novels off the beaten path that looks at the American debt economy in what Kirkus Reviews called "an often-funny satire of the excesses of the free market ethos."
If successful, his plan will liberate a vast majority of human beings from the drudgery and monotony of their own monkey work or what the commoner might refer to as a job. Turk envisions the Primo-Primate Project to create a real work monkey from trained chimpanzees who operate digital sales registers.
Suppose you're looking for a fiction book with philosophical themes that explores the line between madness and spiritual revelation. In that case, you'll enjoy the tension the author creates in this contemporary satirical novel as the lead character examines his loneliness and isolation amidst others' perceptions of him.
Enjoy the humor as Turk works to free humanity from the mundane and dull and replace it with monkey work that makes money and quite a few laughs too.
The acclaimed Kirkus Reviews also said (In the Belly of the Bell-Shaped Curve,) "Carter doesn't just offer readers a hapless Everyperson in these pages; he gives Turk dimension by making him a self-help disciple with delusions of grandeur."
