Mr. Breakfast : a novel / Jonathan Carroll.

Summary:

Graham Patterson's life has hit a dead end. His career as a comedian is failing. The love of his life rently broke up with him and he literally has no idea what to do next. With nothing to lose, he buys a new car and hits the road, planning to drive across the country and hopefully figure out his next moves before reaching California. But along the way Patterson does something his old self would never have even considered: When, at a stopover in North Carolina, he notices a tattoo parlor with some gorgeous designs in the window, he whimsically decides to get a tattoo. The decision sets off a series of extraordinary events that will change his life forever. Among other things, Patterson suddenly finds himself gifted with the ability to see, in real time, three different lives that are available to him. The choice is his: the life he is leading right now, or two very different ones. In all of them there is love or fame--and of course danger, because once he has chosen, there is no telling what will happen next. -- From inside front cover.

Summary

Mr. Breakfast


Graham Patterson is a middling comedian whose career (and love life) has gone up in smoke. After buying a new car, he embarks on a cross country road trip to see his brother Joel, to try and figure what he should do with himself and his career. Midway, after his car breaks down, he enters a tattoo parlor, mesmerized by the unique beauty of the tattoo work on display. After paging through a catalog of styles, he chooses a very rare tattoo - a bee inside a frog inside a hawk inside a lion - that the tattooist's Japanese mentor created. It is a tattoo with strange qualities, to the extent that the tattoo will allow the protagonist to explore alternative versions of his own life and ultimately choose his preferred life. This was something the tattooist was once offered but she preferred to keep the life she had. From this moment Graham Patterson will gain the opportunity to travel in three different lives, until he finally gets to choose one, the definitive one. At what price, though? An
