The book “A Guide to Action for the Next Few Days” by Yoav Blum is intended for not everyone. It can be useful only to a loser named Ben Schwarzman, a former librarian who doesn’t drink. The book gives him strange advice, scares and supports him—while recommending drinking strong spirits. What will happen if he follows these recommendations? Will he wake up with a hangover or become completely different? Can the book help him defend himself against an aggressive world—or will he come to understand the conditional boundaries between strength and weakness, experience and innocence? Can Ben Schwarzman handle it?
