Book excerpt: Meet Chase Summers. Or don't. He likely doesn't care either way. Chase is a 30-year-old star senior consultant at the prestigious consulting firm, Schwartz-Kenway, and has all the trappings that come with it. He lives in a luxury Fifth Avenue apartment, is supremely intelligent, and is dashingly handsome. Chase is the outward picture of success. The world should be in the palm of his hand. If only he saw it that way. You see...Chase is just a little bit different from those around him: He studies Greek mythology in his spare time and listens to opera in the shower One of his closest friends is a middle-aged homeless man named Al He is vexed by even the simplest social interactions, particularly elevator etiquette Detached from much of the world around him, Chase views his day-to-day existence as an unremarkable series of meaningless events, much to the chagrin of Al and his fun-loving colleagues: Max, Mo, and David. Work provides him his only satisfaction; a fact not lost on his overbearing boss, Charles, whose relentless hunt for that "once-in-a-lifetime" client is outdone only by his own arrogance. However, after a chance encounter with Gloria Price, an attractive yet unassuming art industry hopeful with a zest for life, Chase is given a peek into a spirited and vibrant world that he has too often shunned. What seems too good to be true often is though, and when Chase's demons begin to encroach on his newfound relationship, he is forced to choose between his weary but familiar past or the excitement of an uncharted future. Part corporate satire, part romantic comedy, Chasing the Unicorn is the story of a young man who comes to learn what really matters in life: living it.
