Or Lonesome No More!
Set in a dystopian future, this satirical novel follows the life of Wilbur Daffodil-11 Swain, a former President of the United States, as he reflects on his peculiar childhood and the absurdities of human existence.

Through their bizarre adventures and the creation of an artificial family system, the narrative explores themes of isolation, identity, and the human need for connection, all wrapped in the author's signature dark humor and wit.
