Manhattan Parable. A Psychologist's Tale of Suicide and Salvation

Meet Christopher Renner, a New York City therapist just trying to do his job. But when it ends bad…well, witness patient Kate Garvey who jumps out of a window eight floors up. Needless to say, the ambulance driver did not resuscitate. It was the city morgue for Kate.Now sit down, pretend you are having dinner with Chris, not the therapist, like that movie, My Dinner with Andre. Chris will enlighten you on both his soul and possible fault in Kate’s suicide while musing on every topic of the social condition and the planet; and of course juggling women, including a client named Maggie who is a well-paid escort.Is Chis truly agonizing over what he could have done to prevent Kate’s death or is he simply agonizing over potential legal troubles brewing over the event? Does he truly think his desire for Maggie is for a relationship with a surprisingly smart woman or is that simple delusional psycho-babble to grant him solace while luxuriating in the embraces of a beautiful and titillating patient (more than a little bit of an ethical issue). It promises to be an intelligent discussion inside Chris’ mind in this Manhattan Parable of Suicide and Salvation.
