Fuccboiis its generations coming of age novelUtterly of its moment, ofthismoment.Jay McInereny,Wall Street Journal

A fearless and savagely funny examination of masculinity under late capitalism from an electrifying new voice.

Set in Philly one year into Trumps presidency, Sean Thor Conroes audacious, freewheeling debut follows our eponymous fuccboi, Sean, as he attempts to live meaningfully in a world that doesnt seem to need him. Reconciling past, failed selvescross-country walker, SoundCloud rapper, weed farmerhe now finds himself back in his college city, trying to write, doing stimulant-fueled bike deliveries to eat.Unable to accept that his ex has dropped him, yet still engaged in all the same fuckerybeing coy and spineless, dodging decisions, maintaining a rotation of baesthat led to her leaving in the first place. But now Sean has begun to wonder, how sustainable is this mode? How much fuckery is too much fuckery?

Written in a riotous, utterly original idiom, and slyly undercutting both the hypocrisy of our era and that of Sean himself,Fuccboiis an unvarnished, playful, and searching examination of what it means to be a man.
