As the grandson of the
wealthy inventor of a rectal suppository insect
repellent, the painfully foppish and undeservedly
pompous Percy Hogsbottom is free to write his
supposedly Spenserian sonnets unfettered by
financial responsibilities. And yet, life for
Percy is not without its problems. Having been
raised at his grandfather’s estate with little exposure to the outside world, under the
tutelage of the bizarre Mr. Pennywort, Percy
not only dresses up and attempts to write like
an Elizabethan poet, but speaks (very inaccurately)
like one as well.
His lack of real-world experience blinds Percy
to the sadistic, cheating, gold-digging nature
of his “Wyfe,” Lulu, whom he worships
as his muse and “Faerie Queene.” During his courtship, Percy is sexually harassed by a gang of
bikers, angers a group of rednecks at a bar
called the Pig Sty, and watches, obliviously,
as Lulu flirts with his grandfather at a family
dinner . . .

About
the author
“Read this great and odd
book, laugh, shudder, laugh some more . . .”
— Tisbutehname, Goodreads
“Easily the crudest and
one of the funniest books I’ve read all
year . . .” — Jenny Jordan, Goodreads
“This was without a doubt
one of the funniest books I’ve read in a
long time. It is a takeoff of just about everything,
nothing is sacred to the author. It truly takes
you out your comfort zone. It is satirical and
smutty.” — Alex Pope, Goodreads
