Ok guys...Please don't crucify me, I don't have a lot of info but if anyone could help me I'd appreciate it. I heard about this (fairly well known I think) book where the main character is talking to a psychiatrist but I don't think you find that until maybe a third of the book is over. The character is somewhat racist and self contradicting and I heard it's pretty funny in a twisted way which is why I wanna read it. Sorry that's all I remember, any help would be appreciated. Pic unrelated

No and it's pissing me off, I feel like it's right on the tip of my tongue..I think it's somewhat older, like maybe 1950's or 1960's and I think either the author or the main character's name started with a 'P'. That's all I got unfortunately

I haven't, but PH is pretty good from what I know of his other stuff (The Plot Against America, Sabbath's Theater). Kinda like Dostoyevsky where he's easy enough to read that you can read him when you're young, but years later, you don't feel any shame about it, as you inevitably will with plenty of the other books you read around that time.

Cool, thanks dude. I couldn't find anything out about it online. It just seems like one of those books where you strap in to follow a fucked up character, which is always one of my favorite reading experiences
