Ua loaʻa iaʻu i ka wā i ʻike ai au i nā hanana hilarious ma waena o kēia puke ʻO ke kūʻai aku na Paul Beatty a me ka specimen ʻO Sakamura a me nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi me ka ʻole o karma, na Pablo Tusset. ʻElua mau puke ʻaʻole i wae ʻia akā nā puke o kēia manawa, kahi kahawai o ka ʻakaʻaka grotesque a me ka pau ʻole.
