Synopsis

The rules are down to you. The rules that stop you seducing your neighbour downstairs, that stop you hitting your boss, that stop you leaving your family and leaving the country. The rules that stop you living.

The dice don’t do rules; the dice do life.

Luke Rhinehart is a psychiatrist, a husband and a father, his life locked down by routine and order – until he picks up the dice. The dice govern his every decision and each throw takes him further into a world of risk, discovery and freedom. As the cult of the dice grows around him the old order fades: chance becomes his religion, the dice his god.

If you haven’t lived the life of the dice, you haven’t lived at all. Let the dice decide. And roll with it.

From the Back Cover:

Larry Rhinehart is the son of an infamous father – the renegade psychiatrist Luke Rhinehart, otherwise known as the Dice Man.

Luke became a cult in the seventies, inspiring thousands to follow him into the anarchic world of Dice Living, where every decision is made not by the self, but the roll of a dice.

Larry, however, is emphatically not a follower. He has grown up to have a great respect for order and control A wealthy Wall Street analyst, all set to marry the boss’s daughter, Larry has got life where he wants it. Until rumours begin to circulate about the reappearance of his long-vanished father – and Larry’s carefully organized world begins to look a lot less certain.

By turns funny, moving and wildly erotic, 'The Search for the Dice Man' is a journey of the body and spirit never to be forgotten.
