"This book is f*cking awesome. It's my life's story. I'm thirty-four but look twenty-one. Maybe twenty-two at the most. I live in Maryland. Please read it. I'm a writer, a songwriter, an artist. I do it all. I'm an artist of life. I'm an adventurer, I'm the president of my development. Read the memoir. You won't be disappointed." A self-published memoir of a Maryland thirty-something found by author Mike Sacks at a garage sale in 2019 and re-published here for the first time. The memoir is written by the struggling poet and novelist Noah B., who is embedded in the mind and lifestyle of a perversely unexceptional American a**hole named Randy. Like Pale Fire if it were about a Danny McBride-style f*ckup, the story is both unmoored from time and eerily prescient of our own--one so stupid and unbelievable that it requires a writer like Sacks to bring it to light.

"If you don't know who Mike Sacks is, well, you should. His writing is funnier than just about anyone's and now he has a podcast that is excellent. I say Hooray for Mike Sacks and everything he stands for." -David Sedaris "He's the best kind of comedy writer; a bona fide weirdo with virtually no interest in satisfying anything other than his own personal obsessions." -Andy Richter "Randy is a hilariously, unexpectedly poignant and eminently worthy addition to Sacks' sociological/anthropological exploration of the American Jackass and his curious ways. Audacious and inspired." -Nathan Rabin "The year's best memoir is about a man who shot a porno in a Baskin-Robbins." -Vice "Randy does more to explain certain unexpected turns in this nation's political fate over the last couple of years than a bazillion think-pieces in the New York Times, Atlantic, New Yorker, MSNBC." -John Colapinto (The New Yorker) "As the book's description alludes, Randy is an experiment in memoir, biography, and, well, sheer insanity." -Robobutt.
