What do A Confederacy of Dunces, Cosmic Banditos, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and TV's Archer, all have in common? Well, they're laugh-out-loud funny, completely irreverent, and politically incorrect. And so is this dark comic story. The characters - particularly the protagonist narrator - are all out of their freaking gourds. When magazine editor Bonkiewicz (a.k.a. Bonkers) goes into a meeting with his publisher, he suspects that he is about to be fired. Quick on his feet, he concocts a tenuous scheme to produce a celebrity interview, and by extension, also land a huge new advertising account that may very well save his monkey butt. Complicating his interview plans are his girlfriend who runs, out of their rent-overdue beach bungalow, an underground railroad for escapees from AA. But his biggest challenge will be surviving a road trip to a Hollywood red-carpeted celebrity event, because, tagging along uninvited will be his Tasmanian-devil of a friend, Hurricane, travelling with his own special entourage, Frank, a skid-row bum he is wining and dining for a day, as a kind of performance art. Will Bonkers survive and find existential satisfaction to life, the universe, and everything? He can't appeal to God, because he's too crazy, but that's OK, because he's figured out that he's a compatibilist determinist and he doesn't have free will. It's a metaphysical escape hatch better than the booby hatch and even has potential as a very fine prank. Did I mention he's a highly unreliable narrator?
