He carries it home to his wife, Ambience, and they embark on the adventure of their lives, finally able to have everything they've always thought they deserved: cars, guns, games, jewels, clothes--and of course sex, travel, and time with friends and family. There is no limit except their imagination and the hours in the day, and even those seem to be subject to their control. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Of course, the owner of the bag is searching for it, and will do whatever is necessary to get it back. And, of course, these new riches change everything--and nothing at all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Darkly hilarious, \u003ci\u003eProcessed Cheese\u003c\/i\u003e is both satire and serious as death. It's a road novel, a family story, and a last-girl-standing thriller of once-in-a-generation vitality and inventiveness. With the clarity of a Swift or a Melville, Wright has created a funhouse-mirror drama that puts all the chips on the table and every bullet in the clip, down to the last breathtaking moment.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephen Wright\u003c\/b\u003e is a Vietnam veteran, MFA graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and the author of four previous novels.
