Before Stan, there was Randy. And Randy's coming out of the vault.
Randy! is a self-published memoir of a Maryland thirty-something jerk found by author Mike Sacks at a garage sale and re-published here for you. The audio was captured by the struggling poet and novelist Noah B., who is embedded in the mind and lifestyle of a perversely unexceptional American asshole named Randy.
Like Pale Fire if it were about a Danny McBride-style fuck-up, the story is both unmoored from time and eerily prescient of our own—one so stupid and unbelievable that it requires a writer like Mike Sacks to bring it to light.
Starting April 16 on the StanLand feed.

\"Randy is a hilariously, unexpectedly poignant and eminently worthy addition to Sacks’ sociological/anthropological exploration of the American Jackass and his curious ways. Audacious and inspired.\"
Nathan Rabin, Nathan Rabin’s Happy Place
\"The year’s best memoir is about a man who shot a porno in a Baskin-Robbins.\"

\"Randy does more to explain certain unexpected turns in this nation’s political fate over the last couple of years than a bazillion think-pieces in the Times, Atlantic, New Yorker, MSNBC.\"
