Identifiably 1970s Candide-y tale — American style.

Equal parts Vonnegut, Kosinski's "Being There" (even down to the title), and maybe Dino Buzzati with a distinctive sass entirely the author's invention.

I live for goofy curios like this.

Meticulous writing, amusing narrative, intriguing philosophically.

I read this book in high school. Honestly, that's all I remember about it. Wait, somebody steps on broken glass, I believe, at some point. Nasty, nasty.
