Synopsis

"Hideous Exuberance: A Satire" [A Comic-Fantasy-Nightmare]

A character-driven, post-post-modern, highbrow-lowbrow, quasi-Euripidean tragicomedy dissecting the unbridled egoism, narcissism, and anti-intellectualism of our time. A flambuoyant, psychedelic, surrealistic & experimental study of abusive & self-abusing characters. A trashy, grungy, poetic, pornographic & phantasmagorical horror laugh-fest.

"Ranting lunacy ..... perverted language times one hundred narrated by the criminally insane ..... an intoxicating and disgusting journey" -- Long Island Pulse

"A damning portrait of humanity in all its hypocritical splendor: venal, weak, and ingenious in its depravity" -- Travalanche (Trav S. D.)
