"Farm is the mega-conglomerate food supplier for City, populated with rabidly bureaucratic superiors, and sexually deviant tour guides dressed in chicken and duck suits. City is sprawling, technocratic, and rests hundreds of feet above the coastline on the creaking shoulders of a giant wooden pier."--P. [4] of cover.

Review of "Swallowing a donkey's eye" on 'Goodreads'

This is a dystopic novel about a city gone mad and a guy that's caught in the cogs of the insane system.

The thing that I found difficult with Swallowing a Donkey's Eye by Paul Tremblay
Swallowing a Donkey's Eye, was the depressed tone of the narration. I'm not sure if it's the Audiobook or the tone of the text itself, but I preferred the more jovial tone of [b:Love in the Time of Fridges|2945672|Love in the Time of Fridges|Tim Scott|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1320406544s/2945672.jpg|2975118]. A similar book set in an city gone mad but with a more humerus tone.

Perhaps the humor helps me get over the dark dystopic cityscape.
