Begat: According to Matt (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578727783)

"Writing in the great traditions of Kurt Schwitters, William S. Burroughs and Mad Magazine (not to mention Mad Libs), Warren Hicks' "Begat" is an affectionate, irreverent, unapologetically juvenile, textual desacralization designed for maximum enjoyment." - Amy White. "This book is a crime scene. Every reader is a victim." - crooked cop. Finally, a book that belongs on your coffee table and/or in your bathroom. It even fits easily inside ANY pocket, that's properly sized. It's just that versatile! Bloated with hilaresy (heresy that's really, really funny), Begat is an art book lovingly jammed inside a book about the same book. What book? Hicks removed all references to religion from the Gospel of Matthew (New Testament) to reveal a world filled with elves, cannibalism, sex, pubs, meth, raves, country music, rock and roll, more cannibalism, a star ship, explosions...! Oh my! But wait, there's more! Enjoy 191 hand-drawn illustrations, a fun quiz, and surprises galore! If that doesn't tickle your fancy pants, maybe this will: Begat is probably the first book ever [unverified] to include a petition to boycott itself, signed by the author! Trust me. You'll either want to read it twice or burn it once. What's inside? 184 pages of color ink on premium paper! Did I already mention 191 illustrations? Fun Quotes! A freakin' table of contents! Welcome! (Hello!) HILARIOUS preface! LOL Experimental glossary placement! Instructions! The actual non-story "story" A wickedly fun quiz! A petition to boycott this book! And a gobsmacking cover to boot! Hurry! Buy your copy today or someone else will. More disappointing reviews: "If this book were any better, it'd almost be good enough to be considered bad. Almost." - disgruntled rodeo clown. "Dude, what book were we talking about?" - random stoner. "I loved the brilliant twist at the end, when everyone dies!" - some jackass that just spoiled the ending for everyone. NOTICE: All official Begat book-burning events in the U.S. have been postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic. (2020 can kiss my ass!) If you can't wait, burn your copy in your own backyard - safely - and post images on SM! #BurnBegat
