@lunalein@bookstodon Well worth the effort, and in today's climate it's probably more important than the comic novel it was when it was written. It's a great one, and really unlike anything else. I suppose, since it's filled with quirky characters, it could be compared to Carl Hiaasen or the like, but it's got more meat on the bone. And hilariously, there isn't much of a forward-moving plot. Lots of things happen, but with little or no result. It's like an incredibly politically incorrect episode of Seinfeld written by someone with an eye fopr detail and an uncompromising vocabulary.
