Reviews
Penn paints with a broadly satirical, Vonnegut-ian brush. . . . he gives nods (by way of sly footnotes) to the likes of David Foster Wallace and Thomas Pynchon. . . . It's good fun [and] a provocative debut., "Before I started reading, I glanced over the table of contents. The first chapter is called 'Seeking Homeostasis in Inherent Hypocrisy.' I rolled my eyes and said aloud to no one, "fuuuck you." Then, I read it, and it turns out it's a goddamned novel for the ages. A straight-up masterwork, more relevant to this very moment than anything I've seen. Tom Robbins, Mark Twain, E.E. Cummings and Billy Bragg all just came in Chuck Bukowski's pants. Whether it's your cuppa tea is something I cannot know. But sweet Jesus it was mine.", It seems wrong to say that so dystopian a novel is great fun to read, but it's true. I suspect that Thomas Pynchon and Hunter S. Thompson would love this book., Charmingly weird...Penn takes on an ambitious challenge here, and he succeeds spectacularly. Bob is a wonderful character, the kind of guy you can't take your eyes off... that's part of the book's almost immeasurable charm.

Synopsis
"An incredibly interesting work." --Jane Smiley "A straight up masterwork." --Sarah Silverman "Blisteringly funny." --Corey Seymour "A transcendent apocalyptic satire." --Michael Silverblatt "Crackling with life." --Paul Theroux "Great fun." --Salman Rushdie "A provocative debut." -- Kirkus Reviews From legendary actor and activist Sean Penn comes a scorching, "charmingly weird" ( Booklist , starred review) novel about Bob Honey--a modern American man, entrepreneur, and part-time assassin. Bob Honey has a hard time connecting with other people, especially since his divorce. He's tired of being marketed to every moment, sick of a world where even an orgasm isn't real until it is turned into a tweet. A paragon of old-fashioned American entrepreneurship, Bob sells septic tanks to Jehovah's Witnesses and arranges pyrotechnic displays for foreign dictators. He's also a contract killer for an off-the-books program run by a branch of United States intelligence that targets the elderly, the infirm, and others who drain society of its resources. When a nosy journalist starts asking questions, Bob can't decide if it's a chance to form some sort of new friendship or the beginning of the end for him. With treason on everyone's lips, terrorism in everyone's sights, and American political life sinking to ever-lower standards, Bob decides it's time to make a change--if he doesn't get killed by his mysterious controllers or exposed in the rapacious media first. A thunderbolt of startling images and painted "with a broadly satirical, Vonnegut-ian brush" ( Kirkus Reviews ), Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff is one of the year's most controversial and talked about literary works., Bob Honey has a hard time connecting with other people, especially since his divorce.
