Reconciling past, failed selves -- cross-country walker, SoundCloud rapper, weed farmer -- he now finds himself back in his college city, trying to write, doing stimulant-fueled bike deliveries to eat. Unable to accept that his ex has dropped him, yet still engaged in all the same fuckery -- being coy and spineless, dodging decisions, maintaining a rotation of baes -- that led to her leaving in the first place. But now Sean has begun to wonder, how sustainable is this mode? How much fuckery is too much fuckery?\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in a riotous, utterly original idiom, and slyly undercutting both the hypocrisy of our era and that of Sean himself, \u003ci\u003eFuccboi \u003c\/i\u003eis an unvarnished, playful, and searching examination of what it means to be a man.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Terse and intense and new and sort of fucked up but knowingly so.
