About this ebook
A searingly funny and unexpectedly poignant debut, Lenny Bruce Is Dead follows one gloriously inept young man through a fog of lust, family dysfunction, and messianic absurdity in a voice that is equal parts Lenny Bruce and Philip Roth
The startlingly original debut novel from the creator of the podcast "Heavyweight" is, according to Vice Magazine, "the cleanest dirty book I've ever read." It's a snapshot of the mind of Josh, a rather confused young man who must cope with his father's listlessness and his own overwhelming lust, not to mention the arrival of the Moschiach, inventor of the infamous Love Lotion.
Lenny Bruce Is Dead walks a tightrope between the searingly funny and the poignant. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll long for some Love Lotion of your own. And you won't forget Josh—ineptitude, scatological neuroses, urban angst, self–deprecating humor and all.
