It's a real mash-up of surreal, satire, black comedy...a whole-lotta terms.

When he picked up his guitar--twice--and began to sing his "folk song" detailing all of his intelligence activities with all the gory details, first in the park, then in the nightclub during the open mic night, I almost weed myself.

Hope Amazon picks it up.
