Joking that he has been gaining and losing the same thirty-five pounds since junior high, enough to make up an entire other person, Shulman, a chubby, middle-aged, stationery store owner from New Jersey, is stunned when he actually meets this doppelg�ger Shulman, a successful man who made all the choices that the original Shulman had spurned. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.
