Edmund Voss has never lost. Not at business. Not at love. Not at anything. He has written this manual to explain how. He won't realize he is confessing.
What you are holding is the operational manifesto of a man who has decided that reality is what he says it is - and who is generous enough to share his methods. How to rewrite a loss as a strategic withdrawal. How to convert a public humiliation into evidence of strength. How to make truth a matter of volume rather than evidence. Voss is sure you'll be grateful. He is sure most people would be.
Chapter by chapter, the instruction manual cracks open. The lessons become memories. The confidence becomes need. The voice that promised to teach you everything reveals - slowly, and then all at once - a man who has built an empire on the ruins of every relationship he has ever had, and who cannot stop building.
Told in the disturbingly familiar voice of a man you have almost certainly met - in boardrooms, on stages, across negotiating tables - The Art of Never Losing is a dark comedy about power, narcissism, and the stories we tell ourselves when the truth is no longer an option. It is funny until it isn't. It is familiar in ways that should make everyone uncomfortable.
A novel about the architecture of denial, and the men who mistake it for greatness.
In the tradition of American Psycho and The Sellout. For readers of Christopher Buckley, Dave Eggers, Bret Easton Ellis, and Paul Beatty.
