From legendary actor and activist Sean Penn comes a
scorching, “charmingly weird” (Booklist, starred
review) novel about Bob Honey—a modern American man,
entrepreneur, and part-time assassin. Bob Honey has a hard time connecting with other people,
especially since his divorce. He’s tired of being marketed
to every moment, sick of a world where even an orgasm isn’t
real until it is turned into a tweet. A paragon of
old-fashioned American entrepreneurship, Bob sells septic
tanks to Jehovah’s Witnesses and arranges pyrotechnic
displays for foreign dictators. He’s 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 can’t
decide if it’s a chance to form some sort of new friendship
or the beginning of the end for him. With treason on
everyone’s lips, terrorism in everyone’s sights, and
American political life sinking to ever-lower standards, Bob
decides it’s time to make a change—if he doesn’t get killed
by his mysterious controllers or exposed in the rapacious
media first. A thunderbolt of startling images and painted “with a
broadly satirical, Vonnegut-ian brush” (Kirkus
Reviews), Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff is one of
the year's most controversial and talked about literary works.
