Written in a deliberately clipped, staccato fashion; THE CONTORTIONIST'S HANDBOOK acts to convey the rapid-fire thoughts of John Dolan Vincent, a fast thinking coke addict slipping – whole hog – into the story of his life.

To dodge a lifetime of living in institutional digs this master forger changes identities and his past more often than most change their shoes.

Although Vincent creates a Sisyphean routine to stay off the radar of police and mental health authorities, crippling headaches, a six-fingered left hand, drug problem, shady employers and the odd voracious slammed-up against-the-wall sex makes the "mundane" a very elusive goal.
