Saguaro chronicles the life of rock legend Bobby Bird as he finds himself rolled up in barbiturates, at sea with satanic cults, finding true love, selling out, and coming back. Bird may be many things - a legend in pink cotton, a living history in tattoos, the very embodiment of rock and roll - but he isn’t a bad man. At least not all the time. He made his name as a crooner, revered as a singer with soul, a soul he quickly sold without ever considering the implications.

The Most Earnest Absurdism
Revisado: 06-13-20
If you came here after seeing the short film “Chonto,” and wanting more, then I have good news: more you have found. This book knocks one form of comedy out of the park, namely, juxtaposing absurdist content with weighty prose (or attempts by the protagonist of such). It almost reminds me of the humor of something like “Wizard People, Dear Reader” in that regard. There is a delightfully nuanced self-awareness that makes this an easy, fun listen. The opening quotes of the book are a perfect example. The humor and absurdism are what resonate here, but the delivery is so deadpan that if you don’t pay attention, some of the best jokes might slip past you unnoticed. That serves a repeat-listen.
