The General Pointlessness of Being: So you wanna be a rebel!

The General Pointlessness of Being: So you wanna be a rebel!

The boredom trilogy

D.David Croot

I wish this was a novel about being a tramp. I wish I could have witnessed the gulag, the concentration camps of any world war. It would have given myself such a unique point of view, a voice to stand above it all… but my upbringing staved off any lucky strike at a down and out skid-row experience....I was brought up normal, yet I turned out anything but...

Thus starts the young adults journey through hell… A biography of sorts, a bildungsroman of uneven proportions!

(THE BOREDOM TRILOGY can be read in any order)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written with the wit of Kurt Vonnegut, the heart of Knut Hamsun and Carson McCullers combined. Truly a modern incarnation of that blunted reality seeker Charles Bukowski. Herman Hesse could not have written this! Stephen King wishes he was this fiendish and Douglas Adams craved to be this funny!

This is the devilish slice of life you all seek!
