Summary:
A chubby, middle-aged stationery-store owner from New Jersey, Shulman claims that he's been gaining and losing the same 35 pounds since junior high -- and that if you added all of that discarded weight together, you'd have another person. Another Shulman. A Shulman he never really cared for. A Shulman he'd always tried to lose through diet and exercise. This has been just a joke, until one day he actually encounters this Other Shulman -- a successful man whose actions become increasingly destructive and threaten to sabotage all aspects of Shulman's existence. The struggle between the two Shulmans comes to a head while Shulman is running in the New York City Marathon. During the race, as he runs through the old neighborhoods where his life took shape, Shulman reflects on all the choices he's made and realizes that in order for him to get his life back on track, he must confront and overcome his demons -- which have been persistently haunting him in the form of this angry doppelganger, this Other Shulman.
