Life for Sale

«Life for Sale» — a novel in the genre of black comedy, crime thriller, and existential prose about a young copywriter who, after a failed suicide attempt, decides to sell his own life as a commodity. At the center of the plot is a man tired of himself and the world, where even death begins to look like a deal. The action unfolds in Tokyo, among advertising agencies, criminal schemes, suspicious clients, and people for whom someone else's fate has a price. Here, grotesque, danger, and irony come together: behind the external adventurousness lies a conversation about emptiness, the desire to disappear, and the strange resilience of someone who has already given up on their own life.

After a failed suicide attempt, the protagonist places an ad: he is selling his life and is ready to submit to someone else's will. From that moment on, various clients begin to approach him. One wants to use him for personal revenge, others pull him into a spy story, criminal disputes, and increasingly strange assignments. Each new deal is supposed to bring him closer to death, but instead of the expected finale, he finds himself again and again in the midst of someone else's passions, fears, and calculations.
