The Harmon Chronicles

By (author): Harmon Leon

Leon is kind of like Tom Green, except that Leon is smart, and funny, and should have his own TV show. — Malice Inc.

This hilarious collection of anecdotal essays explores the absurdities of modern American life. Harmon Leon is a cutting-edge prankster who infiltrates one lifestyle after the next, takes each to the absolute extreme, and reports back with his findings.

This book drags the highs and lows of contemporary American existence into the light for public scrutiny.
