Existential noir is not usually in the lineup of my to-read books, but I this book was playful and deep at the same time. Though-provoking, inventive, funny, and layered.

First thanks to fsgbooks for getting myself and the @drunkbookpod set up with this book! Now for my #endtablebookreview !!
What an wild ride. Joseph had me at his first book #biglonesome and this new novel does not disappoint! Stanley thinks he is just house sitting in Prague but he is really a part of a terrifying art installation of his uncles creation. He keeps running into made up men and some made up women made up to be men made up to be women.(prett good example of the book in that sentence.)This visit to Prague will strain Stanley's hold on reality and leave him not knowing who or what is real. The Made-Up Man is awesome and fun to read. Go get this book today!

One of the best books I've ever read, makes you deeply think about and reflect on everything.
