Ode to Joy Boy, Book the First: On the Origins of Joy Boy’s Chasm

A zany, uproarious romp through the streets of Manhattan.

When Joy Boy finds himself without a girlfriend, living with a bunch of crazy roommates, and without an ounce of passion for the job he has writing 18-word sitcom descriptions for the TV Talon Times, he knows something has to change.

His quest for something lasting and meaningful leads him on a simple search for Dude and Nico, which turns into a wild romp where he encounters a diverse array of impassioned, lonely, and restless searchers.

Joy Boy’s Chasm will have you laughing out loud. And shaking your head in disbelief.

Liam James Leaven is the name of a computer program that travels through the ethereal Space of Cyber, posting random musings at binary will at such think tanks and thought gathering grounds as The Humor Books Blog, Huge Words by Huge People and LiamJamesLeaven.com. Recently, in a flash of Avatar-esque genius, Liam James Leaven’s programmer recruited a goofy looking bloke to hook a motherboard and WiFi connection to his brain and be Liam James Leaven’s tactile connection to the real world. While Liam James Leaven leaps from WiFi to cable modem to Ethernet connection, leaving a trail of woeful ruminations in his path, his avatar travels the streets, roads, paths and alleyways of the world, peddling hard copies of the program’s RNG-generated musings. Together, Liam James Leaven and his avatar hope to one day conquer the world, take all the stuff, recede to their compound and construct an impenetrable dome. This way, nobody will be able to come along and take back all the stuff.
