From http://decothenovel.com, "Decò is a satirical novel about life in contemporary Miami. It follows the central character, Decò, a young, naïve, writer armed with an American sense of entitlement which is supposed to guarantee him fame and riches, not always achieved through hard work. The over-the-top novel follows the protagonist’s misadventures as he mixes with an assortment of bizarre Miamians and movements. Decò is a modern take on Voltaire’s classic satire Candide. As in Candide, the plot is fantastical and picaresque, with characters exiting and returning, chapters are short and almost blog-like, and while Voltaire commented on philosophical optimism, Decò sharply explores the tensions between American exceptionalism and American entitlement."
