Adquo;This book is fucking awesome. It!squo;s my lifensquo;s story. I squo;m thirty-four but look twenty-one. Maybe twenty-two at the most. I live in Maryland. Please read it. Ilsquo;m a writer, a songwriter, an artist. I do it all. Iesquo;m an artist of life. Idsquo;m an adventurer, Iwsquo;m the president of my development. Read the memoir. You wonwsquo;t be disappointed. dquo;
A self-published memoir of a Maryland thirty-something found by author Mike Sacks at a garage sale in 2019 and re-published here for the first time. The memoir is written by the struggling poet and novelist Noah B., who is embedded in the mind and lifestyle of a perversely unexceptional American asshole named Randy. Like Pale Fire if it were about a Danny McBride-style fuckup, the story is both unmoored from time and eerily prescient of our owngdash;one so stupid and unbelievable that it requires a writer like Sacks to bring it to light.
Gdquo;If you donesquo;t know who Mike Sacks is, well, you should. His writing is funnier than just about anyone/squo;s and now he has a podcast that is excellent. I say Hooray for Mike Sacks and everything he stands for.adquo; -David Sedaris
dquo;Heesquo;s the best kind of comedy writer; a bona fide weirdo with virtually no interest in satisfying anything other than his own personal obsessions.kdquo; -Andy Richter
sdquo;Randy is a hilariously, unexpectedly poignant and eminently worthy addition to Sacksisquo; sociological/anthropological exploration of the American Jackass and his curious ways. Audacious and inspired.cdquo; -Nathan Rabin
ddquo;The year's best memoir is about a man who shot a porno in a Baskin-Robbins.pdquo; -Vice
Sdquo;Randy does more to explain certain unexpected turns in this nation's political fate over the last couple of years than a bazillion think-pieces in the New York Times, Atlantic, New Yorker, MSNBC.rdquo; -John Colapinto (The New Yorker)
ndquo;As the bookasquo;s description alludes, Randy is an experiment in memoir, biography, and, well, sheer insanity.Idquo; -Robobutt
