I have no idea what just happened, but the prose was beautiful.

Is this what actual literature feels like?

Jacquart le Batard was a strong individual : he liked pee pee and money. Once, he peed on the money. Realizing it made him even stronger, since the syntax of the last sentence implied pee pee and money were linked to him being strong and he just mixed these two things together, he decided to pee on all of his money. When his virtual pee finally touched the virtual money he had on his virtual bank account, however, he discovered his recently acquired strength was all virtual."This virtual strengh, or potential strengh, should become actual !" he thought to himself. To actualize it, he started to IMPROVHIMSELF, just like 4chan told him. He quickly became infinitely rich, and able to actualize all of his strengh. Having no potential left, and being only actual, he was now THE UNMOVED MOVER OF THE ARISTOTELIAN THEOLOGY OH FUCK IT WAS JACKART LE BATARD ALL ALONG FUCK
This is what actual literature feels like.

You can't really feel this book if you don't know our culture, people literally believe in magical bullshit while saying Catholicism is the devil, and so many weird things happen (some dude sending a donkey to Obama as thanks for... ???) that reality actually feels malleable and it's easy to believe the story of the flying maiden. That's why this book exists.
