There is a light-hearted, comical tone to much of the book, but it's disassociative and juxtaposed with darker, serious realities.

This book is no joke. Charlie Kauffman-esque in its surrealism that devolves into almost fever dream. The most unreliable narrator ever. Fantastic writing, and meaning, and it should be read by the masses.
