Any way you measure it, the universe is incredibly fat. Fat is not socially acceptable, so the universe is not well liked. This probably accounts for the reason why people on planet Earth leave so much trash lying around and seem so angry so much of the time.
The universe, however, doesn’t seem to be dieting. It’s getting bigger all the time. This fact alone explains why diets ultimately fail -- and why the one universal experience of intelligent, sentient beings throughout the cosmos is -- depression.
This is the story about one rather anti-social boy, who experienced ordinary depression and disorganized thinking (but was otherwise totally abnormal) and how he faced up to the ever-growing challenge of the swelling universe.
You might want to be careful where you read this book. Readers may experience explosive laughter and loss of bladder control.
