So what is Smiler? Evidently itÕs a book of some description, but it is also a state of mind & by reading this twisted, comedic tale, following Swill, Johnny & the rest of the gang on their haphazard journey to uncover SmilerÕs message, it's a state of mind that is easily attainable.
Likened to a profound mix between ÔTrainspottingÕ & ÔJonathan Livingstone SeagullÕ, Smiler is an offbeat, stylistically striking novel that cleverly uses photography to blur the lines between fact & fiction. It is a retarded project based upon a retarded concept, that states that if every action has an opposite reaction, then by writing a book with no apparent purpose, the end result would in fact have true meaning, & that much like the ÔBig BangÕ theory that created the universe & everything in it, you can get something remarkable from absolutely nothing.
Let Smiler leave you feeling educated, enlightened & ultimately entertained because rememberÉonly Smiler has the answer.
