In this funny, nightmarish masterpiece of imaginative excess, grotesque characters engage in acts of violent one-upmanship, boundless riches mangle a corner of Africa into a Bacchanalian utopia, and technology, flesh, and violence fuse with and undo each other. A fragmentary, freewheeling novel, it sees wild boys engage in vigorous, ritualistic sex and drug taking, as well as prankster-ish guerrilla warfare and open combat with a confused and outmatched army.

I like shocking books but after listening to this, I could not tell you what on earth I just listened to.
Maybe I didn’t listen closely enough and didn’t pay attention, as I do work while I listen
but the story seemed to jump person to person and setting to setting with no rhyme or reason.
Such a bizarre book, glad I listened to once but returned for my credit back

I don’t even know
