  Based on his off-Broadway hit show, this is the author's comic look at society and all its ills - disease, drugs, crime, junk culture, pious political correctness, urban life, and the human fear of mortality. Drawing on his experience growing up as the son of working-class Irish immigrants in Boston, on his coming-of-age at the height of the me decade, on his biting observations of contemporary America's decaying political and popular culture, and on his deviated outlook as an unrepetent smoker, drinker, and meat-eater, the author invites readers to face issues that society is most afraid of.
