Being late to your own wedding because The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is showing on the box? Pay a fancy training company a tidy sum to have you put in a concentration camp, beaten and tortured? Contract a mine worker and drill a well tens of kilometers deep to dig all the way to hell? Parodic, almost caricatured characters, placed by the author in incredible circumstances, allow the reader to look at the world as if through a distorted prism and paradoxically recognize the realities of today in its details.
