Frank Johnson, 33, refuses to accept that a nursing home won't refund a year's deposit after his grandfather dies before moving in, which lands him living in the nursing home and locked in a dispute with management. When Elroy, an adopted child, enters his life, Frank leverages this forced relationship by making a series of absurd yet well-intentioned decisions that end up shaking an entire New Jersey suburb. A Matter of Principle is a sharp, satirical call against incompetent bureaucracy, evoking the best of David Safier, Tom Sharpe, and David Lodge. With over 20,000 copies sold in English, the novel won the Maxy Award for 'Book of the Year' and topped Amazon's bestseller lists in 'Satirical Fiction, ' 'Humor and Entertainment, ' and 'Black Comedy.' In an era dominated by political correctness, this book offers a refreshing breath of irreverent humor, emotional depth, and unforgettable characters.
