This was a short, off-the-wall comedy satire. Kind of like if you took Wag the Dog and cranked it up to level 10 insane incoherency.
The main character, Blake, is the emergency PR fix-it man for an incompetent, authoritarian presidency. The whole book vacillates wildly between Blake's wholesome desire to build his relationship with his wife, and the steadily escalating crimes that surround him at work. The distraction speech was a high point, and the story also ends happier than it has any right to.
Deeply weird, but overall enjoyable.
