A self-published memoir of a thirty-something from Maryland found by Mike Sacks at a garage sale and is being re-published "as is." Randy is a thirty-something who sells his family farm and commissions an out-of-work local author, named Noah B., to write and type his memoir. A modern-day version of a 15th century biography commissioned by a wealthy Medici patron. This memoir comes complete with more than 15 exciting black and white photos! A movie will be based on this book if anyone buys the rights. Contact Randy if interested!
I read the whole thing. At first I thought it was hysterical. Then I realized that it is saturated in existential and artistic truth, and I was overcome with despair. This book is what Fuddruckers would be if Fuddruckers were… a book. Five stars.
I fully understand the concept and angle this was going for but I just couldn't stick with it. At no point is the humour self aware or parody and if anything, revels in the stupidity of the dude-bro culture. Oh well.
