Synopsis
Tex and Kurt are burned out by modern life and creative failure, but then again who isn't? When the two friends connect after Kurt takes a soul-numbing job at a massive pop culture toy company, their reunion sparks a chaotic plan to push back against a culture of consumerism that leads them on an absurd nightmare of rebellion, infighting, self-doubt, fandom, corporate success and terrorism. Equal parts Fight Club and Sideways, Pop! explores friendship, authenticity, desperation, and the collapse of art in a world dominated by nostalgia, branding, and three and a half star reviews. Here's hoping they find some personal growth before the end?
"A hilarious metatextual romp that manages to be both scathingly critical and heart-warmingly honest about what it means to consume, what it means to create, what it means to be. In a world that often feels like stiff, dead-eyed plastic, this work actually has something to say."
-Riley August, The Last Gifts of the Universe
"I honestly didn't know what the fuck was going on, but I loved it. I read it again, and I still didn't know what the fuck was going on, maybe even less so, but I loved it more. So will you. Read it. It's unlike anything out there."
-Mike Sacks, Stinker Lets Loose, This is How We Love: The Foto-Novel, Slouchers
"I inhaled POP! A very funny indictment of pop culture...Unexpectedly poignant."
-Bobby Miller, Situation Nowhere
"This book is great if you know how to read. The best INSERT COVER PRICE I've ever spent (authors note: they sent it to me for free but still I read it and it was very good)!"
-Sam Tallent, Running the Light
