Noah's Turn
|
|
Noah’s Turn is the darkly humorous story of Noah Douglas and his consuming envy of a much more successful friend. Adrift in life at the age of forty-one, Noah slides deep into a pit of his own making, alternately drinking, smooth-talking an elderly aunt he hopes will leave him money, and sleeping with whoever will have him. He has also lost his job and his wife. But at a pivotal moment, he crosses the line between ordinary human weakness and outright depravity when he kills his successful friend with a machete. Noah must deal with the mental and moral fallout from the murder, for which he feels surprisingly little remorse and appears not even to be a suspect.
Fast-paced, funny and laced with sharp observations on vanity and hubris, Ken Finkleman’s Noah’s Turn is a short masterpiece.
