One of the greatest books ever written. Everyone uses sentences. Here they are re-defined. It's a mind expanding piece of lit if ever I saw one. I got copies for my friends. Brilliant! (

An autobiographical fiction about the superpowerful author and his bizarre adventures in his twisted version of current culture. Like spending an afternoon in an asylum then realizing the inmates are saner than you. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0517583356, Hardcover)

In this fiendishly original new novel, Mark Leyner is a leather-blazer-wearing, Piranha 793-driving, narcotic-guzzling monster who has potential rivals eliminated by his bionically enhanced bodyguards, has his internal organs tattooed, and eavesdrops on the erotic fantasies of Victoria's Secret models -- which naturally revolve around him.

Leyner's jet-propelled roller derby through the cultures of celebrity, cyberpunk, and rabid egotism is exhilaratingly bizarre, exhaustingly funny -- and you'd better hope it's just fiction.

From the Trade Paperback edition.
