Form Your Troika is about a man on a mission. The man is David and his mission is to kill himself. Before he passes on, however, David wants to pass on the ten most important lessons he has learned in his life. With chapters about serendipity, pictures from pen pals, and to the troika itself, David is a fountain of advice that should and should not be followed. This book also recounts David's quest to complete ten items before his demise. Ayn Rand, the First Lady of the United States of America, and Auguste Rodin all make appearances as David attempts to complete his ten tasks. Form Your Troika is a story about a man with a decision to make, about a man struggling to find his place in the Universe, and (but not ultimately) about what to do with an elephant with three balls.
