From legendary actor and activist Sean Penn comes a scorching, โcharmingly weirdโ (Booklist, starred review) novel about Bob Honeyโa modern American man, entrepreneur, and part-time assassin. Bob Honey has a hard time connecting with other people, especially since his divorce. Heโs tired of being marketed to every moment, sick of a world where even an orgasm isnโt real until it is turned into a tweet. A paragon of old-fashioned American entrepreneurship, Bob sells septic tanks to Jehovahโs Witnesses and arranges pyrotechnic displays for foreign dictators. Heโs also a contract killer for an off-the-books program run by a branch of United States intelligence that targets the elderly, the infirm, and others who drain society of its resources. When a nosy journalist starts asking questions, Bob canโt decide if itโs a chance to form some sort of new friendship or the beginning of the end for him. With treason on everyoneโs lips, terrorism in everyoneโs sights, and American political life sinking to ever-lower standards, Bob decides itโs time to make a changeโif he doesnโt get killed by his mysterious controllers or exposed in the rapacious media first. A thunderbolt of startling images and painted โwith a broadly satirical, Vonnegut-ian brushโ (Kirkus Reviews), Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff is one of the year's most controversial and talked about literary works.
