Summary

Summary

High above the bustling streets of Dubai, in the world's tallest and most luxurious skyscraper, reside the Gods and Goddesses of the modern world. Since they emerged fourteen billion years ago from a bus blaring a tune remarkably similar to the Mister Softee jingle, they've wreaked mischief and havoc on mankind. Unable to control their jealousies, the Gods have splintered into several factions, led by the immortal enemies XOXO, Shanice, La Felina, Fast-Cooking Ali, and Mogul Magoo. Ike Karton, an unemployed butcher from New Jersey, is their current obsession. 

The Sugar Frosted Nutsack is Ike's epic story. A raucous tale of Gods and men confronting lust, ambition, death, and the eternal verities, it is a wildly fun, wickedly fast gambol through the unmapped corridors of the imagination.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

The Sugar Frosted Nutsack is dizzyingly brilliant. Mark Leyner is a hyperkinetic shaman, who flies the banner of rum and candy and writes like a one-eyed feral bandit. His new book is supremely original, delirious, and synapse-shattering.” John Cusack
“The great Mark Leyner has returned. He’s brought with him a visionary comedy, a nearly epic exegesis of a wonderfully ludicrous (and somehow completely believable) epic, and, most important, a pantheistic belief system we can all finally get behind. Big ass brilliance on every sun-kissed page.” Sam Lipsyte, New York Times bestselling author of The Ask
“America should treasure its rare, true original voices and Mark Leyner is one of them. So treasure him already, you bastards!” Gary Shteyngart, New York Times bestselling author of Super Sad True Love Story
The Sugar Frosted Nutsack proves once again that Mark Leyner is a mad genius, one of the smartest and funniest humans since Aristophanes. The gods must be crazy for allowing him to write their collective biography. I want scrips for whatever drugs he’s taking.” Jay McInerney, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Life
“This book did all kinds of things to my brain: squeezed it, shocked it, scrambled it, and, finally, improved it. There is no one like Mark Leyner in fiction today, and with The Sugar Frosted Nutsack, he has found—or invented—a language with which to render the insanity and self-referentiality of our contemporary culture. A chaotic and vibrant novel whose form is perfect for a chaotic and vibrant universe.” Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe
“A total delight. Like tweaking out on a super trippy crystal meth high, but without the crash of annihilating depression that normally follows. Not that I really know this for sure since I’ve never actually been high.” Todd Solondz, director of Welcome to the Dollhouse
