Blind View Drive by Jerry Gufferd
Genre - Transgressive Fiction
Rating - R
They say that laughter is the best remedy in life—and if that truly is the case, then Blind View Drive is exactly what the doctor ordered. A hilarious psychedelic adventure full of sex, drugs, and karmic vendettas, it’s sure to leave you in stitches while making you acutely aware of the side effects of the human condition.
The story centers on Chance, an existentially driven young man who seems to have a personal score to settle with the universe at large. His life is filled with a vengeance against societal norms, religion, and any other type of rule or boundary, and he uses everyone and everything around him to satisfy his twisted self-interests.
Most shocking of all is Chance’s controversial view of justice. It allows him to take karma into his own hands to right the wrongs of his grandfather and carries readers into a darkly comedic world where they are forced to take a closer look at society’s moral and ethical constructs and to reassess the concepts of truth, decency, and fairness that they blindly accept as granted in their own lives.
In the same distended vein as acclaimed writers Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, and Chuck Palahniuk, maverick author Jerry Gufferd delivers a compelling work of transgressive fiction that steps outside of convention to vividly depict the absurdities of life, challenging readers to discover—and question—the fallacies of the world we live in.
Based on extremely exaggerated events from Gufferd’s life, Blind View Drive will push and pull you in unexpected directions and speak to those raw, gritty parts of yourself that you’ve worked so hard to keep hidden.
