Hygiene and the Assassin

hilariously funny book with an odd twist followed by another odd twist that while strange, doesn't seem unfitting or contrived. Well, maybe the tiniest bit contrived but you end up buying it anyway.
The dialogue is action-movie paced and cleverly laugh out loud funny. Nobel Prize-winning author Pretextat Tach is a despicably unlikeable person who cherishes no one and nothing but himself and possibly food, and who we find out has done a despicable deed that he considers wholly justified and humane.
He despises women and men alike, though women slightly more -- most likely because of his status as a virgin. Haivng been bored out of his mind for twenty-four years, he commences tormenting the first humans, other than his assistant, he allows himself to have contact to celebrate the occasion of his impending death due to cartilage cancer.
Yes, even my summary is ridiculous. But the novel, while perhaps a little ridiculous, is a fabulous read.
