This glorious book, also called Most Fucked Up Person Alive Tells All: The Auto-Biography of Being Pissed Off is, as far as I can discern, set at a post-apocalyptic right-angle to futuristic reality. The easiest way to describe it is to quote sample passages, like the opening here:
1.
I was born around Big Midnight in a CanaMexican motel where the owners and maids were all so busy either drying out or scoring, that they couldn't be bothered with checking in or cleaning the rooms.
2.
My parents wanted me to grow up to be one of those people who, by sheer strength of personality, can convince 12 or 15 members of an audience to jam themselves into a small, tight, transparent glass booth, made to hold about 6 adults max, and then lock the door and take two ordinary house cats... then shoot them both up with PCP and drop them into a glass booth and clamp down the lid so there's no exit.
It only gets more surreal from there. It certainly has no political bearing in the common sense of promoting an ideology, formenting revolution, or being informative about a regime, real or fictional. It instead pushes the boundaries of where objectivity gets sort of jammed into the side of fear, loathing and primordial chaos at an angle best described in imaginary numbers.
Our hero constantly finds himself either in positions such as "President of the Cosmos" or being drafted into the People's Militia, which was used exclusively to protect people from any possible occurrence of ESP or paranormal events.
"Some of you might not come back," he said getting very emotional.
"But I've already not come back!" I called out, from the rear of the room. "And more than once."
