What’s a book that completely surprised you?
Errrm…. i think it was when i was about 6. It was a Mr Man book! Mr bump as i recall… cuz it was the last f*cker i read!! Hahaha.
No but seriously, Dookie: A Colourful Life both surprised me and changed my life. I only wrote it for me, so when it got published and my publisher through a launch evening for it at a theatre and art gallery it blew me away. Its been so well recieved by fans too that its sporned a whole growing series. I’m currently working on book 6 and we are creating comic no3!!
So thank you if you’ve read A Colourful life and/or any of my others. It means a great deal to me. I hope they made you laugh.
Here’s a quick run down of the book!
Dookie: A Colourful Life is an irreverent, satirical novel by Tony Kearns. It follows Dookie, a disgraced Marine warrior who returns to his homeland and takes a job at a corrupt market place, only to discover that the corrupt forces of the world are secretly controlled by money-hungry intestinal demons.
The book is an anarchic, surreal satire targeting modern politics and societal trends.
Key themes and elements include:
The Premise:
After being cast out of the military for refusing a direct order on moral grounds, Dookie returns to Dragon Valley to work at a marketplace called “Hellmart”.
The Villains:
He discovers that corrupt executives, politicians, and authority figures are actually controlled by demons living in their lower intestines, which feed off greed and power.
The Heroes:
Dookie teams up with a motley crew of colleagues—described as “Snowflakes” and “Hipsters”—to violently and hilariously rid the marketplace of demonic rulers.
The Tone:
The book combines crude buffoonery, anti-establishment humor, and intense action to mock a wide range of modern issues, including extreme worldviews, neoliberal economics, and pandemic lockdowns
