Moreno Valley, CA Author Publishes Novel

August 4, 2017 - Zen & the Art of Masturbation, a new book by Mark Oglesby, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Deftly wielding tongue-in-cheek humor and lyrically acrobatic prose, author Mark Oglesby takes aim at the absurdity of working and living in our highly technical, commercialized society. With a plot that hopscotches across time and space and a cast of characters foolish and farcical, Zen & the Art of Masturbation is a satire in the vein of Tom Robbins or Catch-22, holding a funhouse mirror up to the modern online-retail monopoly-and our own insatiable hunger for stupid ass-scratching stuff just one click away.
