IBID by Mark Dunn
Unbearably hilarious. Los Angeles TimesAfter his editor's son accidentally drowns the sole copy of his latest manuscript in the bathtub, Mark Dunn (a character in his own novel) makes the best of a bad situation. He will tell the story of three-legged circus performer-cum-deodorant magnate and humanitarian Jonathan Blashette through the only part of the text that survives: the footnotes. The result is a riotous and irreverent romp through recent history that finds in the margins of a fictitious life a surprisingly revealing angle on who and what we consider newsworthy, and why.
As fun and non-nutritious as picking the most buttery kernels of popcorn out of the bowl. TIME OUT NEW YORK
