Get a first look at Sean Penn's new Insane novel

Yes, the winner of the Oscar wrote a novel - and it is indeed a doozy.


Monday evening,Sean Penn, 57, makes a weirdappearance toThe Colbert show, looking and acting as a paired man who had wandered from a diving bar and a scene. He started the interview saying he was on Ambien, then went out a pack of cigarettes and, shocking, began to smoke with casualness of a fair and there. (For the record, the New York State forbids smoking in closed workspaces, which includes the series of end-of-evening shows in 2003.)

The winner at the OSCAR twice, who said he took a break to act because he has no more spirit of collaboration (or, as he said, "I do not play More and more with others "), was there to promote his new novel,Bob darling who has just done things: a novel.

The fact that the title has no sense what gives a good idea of ​​the style of the book, which is a word salad buffet disguised in political satire.

In a classic postmodern move, Penn first created the character Bob Honey, described as a 57-year-old Californian man with "an ultraviolent skepticism to the e-mail and the mediocrity of modern times" flashing moon as an assassin - for An audio 2016, but refused written the novel, claiming instead that it had been written by a named man, allegedly, Poppy Paria, whom he had met in Florida years ago.

When you supported the reason he lied, Penn replied, "There is a line in the book that says," Sometimes I like lying. "When asked if it was his words, he said they were the words of a German rock band called Annenmaykanterreit. (This, for what it's worth, actually checks,As is the name of one of their songs)

He then elaborated: "When I thought of this book for the first time to this book, I started to hear a pace of speech, a storyteller of Bob Honey. So I gave him a name-pappy Paria , who became a character in the novel and I decided to let him live like his a little. And now I am here, in an evolution of this process, sharing the development of the previous truth I told you. "And, equitable warning, it's about as coherent as things get.

The description of the novel on the website of its publisher is as follows:

Bob Honey has trouble connecting with other people, especially since his divorce. It is tired of being marketed at every moment, sick of a world where even an orgasm is not real until it is transformed into a tweet. A Paragon of ancient American entrepreneurship, Bob sells septic tanks to Jehovah's Witnesses and organizes pyrotechnic screens for foreign dictators. It is also a contractual killer for an off-book program managed by a branch of the American intelligence that targets the elderly, the infirm and others who draw up this society with its resources to consumption.

When a curious journalist begins to ask questions, Bob can not decide if it's a chance to form a kind of new friendship or end of the end for him. With betrayal on the lips of each, the terrorism of all the tourist sites of each and the American political life flowing to still lower standards, Bob decides that it is time to change - if it is not being killed by its Mysterious controllers or first exposed in fast media.

The critics of the book have been, as is often the case of fiction, which seems to have been written on a cocktail ofHunter S. Thompson Influences, whiskey and sedatives - so bad they are good.

In abook criticism forThe New York Times,Jeff Giles wrote: "What did you do this time, Sean Penn? What is this book-shaped thing that happens before us?" Call the novel "An enigma wrapped in an enigma and embarrassed crazy."

InPost Huffington, Claire Falloncalled The novel "An exercise in [Butt-Butt] - a personality of 160 pages." She compared it to a "dream of fever", by which she means it was "non-person, unpleasant and let me myself with a horror and a mixed confusion." And if that was not enough, it is also savagely offensive, ending with a poem on #Metoo in which it calls the movement "a crusade of a child in mind."

On Twitter, social media users have also shared some of their "favorite" lines of the book.

Someone needs to explain to Penn for "bad writing" is always bad writing.

Please, give this man a summons because he has committed an aggression of the English language!

The only person who seems seemingly to love it wasSalman Rushdie, who wrote a blur saying, "I suspect that Thomas Pynchon and Hunter S. Thompson would like this book," who, to his credit, is not even so much compliment as it is a statement of fact, since Prose clearly tries to imitate the Anarchist Scrabble Jar who is the works of these professional alcoholics of the twentieth century rated.

It could be the most weird thing we have read since Quincy Jones interview, in which he claims to have slept with Ivanka Trump . At least that one was fun .
