Only you can make yourself a moron.

Max Wilson is thirty-five, unemployed, and still lives at home. His interests are economics, rock music, giving lectures, and buttermilk. He's also a genius. When his mother decides to move to Florida, he devises a plan to ruin everything. A Confederacy Of Dunces meets the modern age with comedic disastrous results.

"Sea Of Idiots is sardonic humor at its finest."-Scott Laudati (author/poet Cephalopress)
"While some of his followers clearly understand it's satire, many others seem not to." -PBS Newshour
"Young is trolling the media, too, getting his opinions into mainstream publications." -The Huffington Post

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

I wanted to write about a mother and son relationship, and throw in some dysfunction. SEA of IDIOTS is my treatise on Boomerang kids.  A disillusioned Generation X versus a washed up Boomer parent.  Enjoy!

2.0 out of 5 stars Short and a bit mean-spirited
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2022
Verified Purchase
As mentioned in the blurb, this is a short re-work of Confederacy of Dunces. Max for Ignatius, Texas for Louisiana, and a ball cap instead of hunting cap. Not sure what the point is. Stick with the original from John Kennedy Toole.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Work Since Laredo Down
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2012
Verified Purchase
Thom pulls no punches here about borrowing heavily from Confederacy of Dunces, but he does so while managing to incorporate his own inimitable style as well as modern day concerns about fiscal policy as seen through the eyes of a well educated 40 year slob named Max Wilson. The result is his best stuff since Laredo Down.
