Micheal La Cey – How To Be A Tosser and Influence Absolutely Nobody
I’m really enjoy this “piece of work” at the moment. It’s by a very uninfluential French petit con, who goes through life throwing his inconsiderable weight around to absolutely no effect, other than to alienate his peer group. It’s, so like, existential, man.
The central ironic theme in the work is that the author has a well documented history of telling others what to do, likes to dish it, but can’t take it in return.
What’s he trying to say to us ? That the dictator will always fail ? That censorship takes many forms ? Possession is theft ? That some people are just tossers ? Who knows. Hopefully all will eventually be revealed .
Non-Fiction (sadly)
