The painfully hilarious and pathetic adventures of Icarus Scrod; a fabulously weathly author and hopelessly weird hermit who despises money and people... especially those that actually like him. Join Icarus in a wild and crazy tale involving chickens genetically spliced with pizza, a ride in a Maelstrom to the bottom of the South Pacific sea, and a perpetual wait in line for admittance to an Australian insane asylum. There's also a good bit when he scorches his tongue on a fried cheese stick. Indisputably, undoubtedly and unquestionably the funniest book ever written and very soon to become a major award-winning motion picture, probably more successful than Star Wars, and more beloved than Harry Potter & Lord of the Rings combined.
