UNSOLICITED PRESS ANNOUNCES DOLLARTORIUM, A SATIRICAL TRIUMPH BY RON PULLINS

Unsolicited Press is proud to announce the release of DOLLARTORIUM, a sharp, hilarious, and deeply human novel by Ron Pullins, arriving February 10, 2026. In an era defined by hustle culture, economic anxiety, and the relentless monetization of everyday life, DOLLARTORIUM offers readers a blistering satire, and a surprising dose of hope.

The novel follows Ralph, a humble Kansas corndog maker whose small-town shop provides honest work but not enough income to stay afloat. When his wife, Phyllis, becomes determined to escape the grind, the couple is lured into the Dollartorium, a self-help empire run by the charismatic—and suspiciously reptilian—Money Master. Promising success through predatory business practices and entrepreneurial delusion, the Dollartorium quickly becomes a surreal training ground for Ralph’s descent into late-stage capitalist chaos.

Through humor and fabulism, DOLLARTORIUM exposes the absurdities of contemporary business culture while celebrating dignity, community, and the quiet power of honest labor. As Ralph stumbles through corruption, collapse, and his own crisis of purpose, it’s his daughter Stella who ultimately points him back toward what matters most.

Ron Pullins, whose work has appeared in Southwest Review, Shenandoah, Typishly, and more, brings his award-winning voice to a novel that is both timely and timeless. Winner of the 2022 Malcolm Lowry Award, DOLLARTORIUM is an unforgettable allegory of greed, delusion, and the resilience of the human spirit.

DOLLARTORIUM is available through independent bookstores nationwide and through Unsolicited Press.
