Lionel Asbo: State of England

His outrageous actions and attitude seem to reflect certain societal issues. I'm curious what the author aimed to critique or highlight with this character.

The book’s humor often borders on uncomfortable. I wonder how others interpreted the tone—was it meant to be purely humorous or more pointedly critical?

The mix of gritty realism and absurd humor creates a unique vibe. I'm curious about the creative process behind maintaining that balance.
