A Grand Guy

This is a crazy, silly little novel about a fat, eccentric billionaire who spends his money in strange and fascinating ways. Getting strangers to eat his parking tickets. Persuading folks to bob for $10,000 dollar bills in a huge vat of blood, feces, and animal urine. Bribing professional actors into walking off-stage mid-act, or professional boxers into throwing their fights in vaguely homosexual manners, like sugary figs. Buying a movie theatre and splicing in scenes of women with prosthetic claws scratching under their skirts. Hiring a pig to be the new CEO of a prestigious ad agency in New York.

Needless to say, it was adorable.
