A gonzo, satirical sci‑fi novel blending dark humor, absurdism, and biting cultural commentary—described as a cross between William Kotzwinkle’s wild prose and Michel Houellebecq’s bleak satire

He drifts the sushi cart for his fat girlfriend. I like the other one about a kid drifting his bullies to death.

Billy and the Clown is funnier IMO.

The political satire taking down Bernie in Jaihoo is kinda hacky and misplaced. By the same token, at some point there's a throwaway line in Billie and the Clown about "that Muslim Nigger Obama" which just puts me off, gratuitous.

But I agree that they are basically the funniest things I've ever read and to me they're Sam Hyde's best work (or whomever he collaborated with).

Written by Sam Hyde? Really? I spent half a decade on /lit/, follow him on Twitter, and yet have never heard of it.

they're obscure as fuck. I think he wrote them with some other collaborator people. You can see him reading Billy and the Clown on Youtube

The sheer fact that it begins in this festive carnivalesque atmosphere and timeskips into a cyberpunk dystopian hellscape is so fucking funny

Skimming through it looks like the kind of run-of-the-mill barely legible schizobabble that crops up on /wg/ from time to time

It's pretty coherent, honestly. Remarkably realized work of satire, in spite of everything. Not sure what's closest to it. Rabelais?
