Description
A bleakly humorous novel about a disaffected youth, Whatever A Novel is a scathing critique of modern life. The narrator, a 30-year-old with a well-paid job and no love life, smokes four packs of cigarettes a day and writes weird animal stories in his spare time. This is a painfully realistic portrayal of a world governed by science and empty rituals, where freedom is all but lost.
