What an absolute pleasure to read, escaping our own dull lives into blissful abandon of self-indulgent behavior, laughing all the while.- Sacramento Book ReviewAlan said I was boring. But I'm actually very flexible. My mother used to say I was double-jointed.-PaulaPaula is still smarting from being called boring by Alan, her longtime boyfriend. Then he leaves her for Belinda, the egotistic would-be partner of accountancy firm Smith, Smith-Brown and Smith. Her mother suggests she spice up her life, so Paula joins the local fetish club.Luda the transvestite is not fooled when Paula enters Club Liscious. Her off-the-shoulder dress cannot turn her into a thrill-seeking member of the Liscious elite. She decides to have nothing to do with the newcomer.Over the next few weeks, the club-goers suspicion turns to friendship, and boring Paula recruits Luda, gentle Dominatrix Gretchen, and bossy SlaveBoy to help her win Alan back.Meanwhile, Alans new fiancée Belinda, locked in a bitter battle for a promotion with her paraplegic colleague, starts working on Alans own lack of ambition.Both a comedy and a satire on accountants status obsessions, Sadomasochism for Accountants is a look behind the masks people wear and the roles they play between the sheets and the spreadsheets.
