The perfect antidote for Boomer, Millennial, and GenXYZ angst!

 

Rectum Leviticus is an avowed nihilist. His name and unusual backstory propelled him to adopt an approach to life best characterized as, “I don’t care because nothing really matters.” This attitude has served him exceedingly well. His nihilism, paired with his astute observational skills, give him an edge in navigating all the challenges of modern life. Rectum shares his wisdom in The Nihilist’s Pocket Survival Guide to Modern Society.

 

 

Tungyn Cheque blends the humor of late-night comedy shows and cartoon favorites like The Simpsons, the absurdity and wit of Douglas Adams, Dave Barry, and Jerry Seinfeld (with a splash of Monty Python) into an intoxicating cocktail of humorous light-hearted criticism of the times we live in.

 

 

This handbook is a must read for anyone trying to figure out and negotiate the landscape of work, home, family relationships, debt, dating and all that modern life offers. How best to tackle these challenges? The nihilist offers readers his well-honed suggestions.

 

 

 

 

Satire is often considered the highest form of humor because it is a form of comedy that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Satire is a form of humor that uses irony, sarcasm, and wit to make a point about a particular issue or topic. It is often used to criticize or poke fun at a particular person, group, or institution.

This form of humor is a powerful tool for social commentary and can be used to bring attention to important issues. It can also be used to make light of a situation and bring a sense of levity to a difficult topic. Satire is a great way to get people thinking and talking about important issues in a humorous way.

Reviews

 

 

Thick with humor wry and pointed, this Guide to Surviving Modern Society...celebrates connection with life and community and observing the world around you...This thoughtful novel is indeed seriously silly...

–BookLife by Publishers Weekly

 

The Nihilist's Pocket Survival Guide to Modern Society is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that challenges readers to reconsider their perspectives on success, identity, and the pursuit of meaning in a world filled with societal pressures. Cheque's blend of humor and philosophical insight makes this book a must-read for anyone seeking a fresh take on dealing with the absurdities of contemporary life.
–The Book Commentary

 

The book is truly a masterpiece… Tungyn Cheque's work is humorously irreverent, explicit, and unapologetically skewers contemporary American culture. His satire, akin to the legendary Robert Crumb, cleverly unveils societal truths with a sharp, acerbic wit, leaving a lasting impact on those who engage with his writings. The boldness of his commentary is a captivating reflection of the world around us.
