Download Clump: An American Splatire AudioBook Free
Clump is a guy without known name, no known history and, most of all, no head. The huge, greatly muscled giant lacks any awareness of the earth around him but miraculously becomes typically the most popular entertainer in America. Clump's medical and mass media handlers must manage his skyrocketing job as a music video star and create a healthy, family-friendly open public image...while concealing the inconvenient fact that the headless man is homicidally dangerous when touched. A so-called "splatire" owing to the mixture of razor-sharp comedy and graphic violence, Clump's satiric focuses on include the entertainment industry, remedies, journalism, commercial greed and ineptitude, politics, and a morally vacuous culture that increasingly and enthusiastically embraces the brainless. Stylistically, Clump is similar to a head-on collision between Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., and Chuck Palahniuk. It is not for the faint-hearted, the thin-skinned, or the unadventurous, but can be an all-you-can abdominal buffet for those who like their comedy dark and their sociable commentary barbed.
