...especially in their flirtation with the idea of an “original” in a world in which people can be novelized, duplicated, or obliterated as desired. Yet his taste for parody trespasses well beyond tongue-in-cheek. Every character is either neurotic, socially oblivious, a raging nymphomaniac, or all three. Philip Wild is not only morbidly obese, but can be seen walking striped cats on leashes down the street. Flora is groped at age 12 by an older man named “Hubert H.

She can forget political office—no one’s going to be gunning to vet this petite nymphomaniac. And that job at Goldman seems unlikely too—how many investment banks want to hire the girl whose claim to fame is that she daily exposes her sex life online? And keeping up this sort of celebrity will be rough, because age is going to catch up with her at some...
