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? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Written 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Got under my skin in the way the best writing can.\" --Sheila Heti\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Sean Conroe isn't one of the writers there's a hundred of.
