This novel is unique, reminiscent of William S. Burroughs' The Naked Lunch but without the heroin influence. It's strange, fun, and has a beatnik vibe, featuring drawings by Joseph B. Raimond for each chapter. The existence of a plot or story is difficult to determine.
Written in paradise, also known as Matala, on the beautiful island of Crete, in the summer of 2021, this little sixty page book features Joseph's usual poetic mixture of sarcastic social commentary and personal reflections, as well as several full color illustrations.

As the Trump era in America finally wanes, this sixty page book of poetry is a creative expat coming to terms with the racism, sexism and Trumpism of his country of birth. As usual, not recommended for republicans, nationalists, or probably anyone who voted for Trump.
Written over several years, this little book combines the in-your-face, punk rock inspired writings of Joseph B. Raimond with Joseph's stark pen and ink drawings. But although the form is different this time around, Joseph's mirror to the many ills of society is as sharp, uncompromising and focused as ever. Not suited for conservative Republicans.
Originally planned to be Joseph B. Raimond's second book, these poems were written in the 1990s, shortly after the publication of Joseph'sfirst book "Edges". Recently rediscovered, they remained unpublished until now.
