THE PASSION OF SAINT-JABLONSKI

Equal parts razor-sharp satire, surreal comedy, and heartfelt portrait of squandered dreams, The Passion of Saint-Jablonski follows Stosh "Saint-Jablonski" — ex-golf prodigy, reluctant condo board president, and world-class underachiever — as his already precarious life spirals into complete chaos.

When the tyrannical president of his rundown Florida condo association vanishes along with the reserve fund, Stosh finds himself thrust into leadership of a community teetering on the edge of financial ruin. Between managing eccentric neighbors, dodging a racist ex-cop bent on a coup, and caring for Gator — a stray pig who becomes his unlikely companion — Stosh stumbles into an increasingly bizarre world of influencer gurus, crypto-mining operations, conspiracy theorists, and algorithm-obsessed spiritual healers who've taken over the community church.

As reality blurs with digital culture and Stosh's grip on sanity loosens, he's forced to confront the gulf between the man he thought he'd become and the man he actually is. What begins as condo politics escalates into a fever dream of fake prophets, mysterious government agents, and the question of whether coincidence can be so absurd it must be conspiracy.

Andrew Mondry's prose crackles with wit, compassion, and an eye for the strange poetry of modern American decay. Beneath the book's riotous humor and increasingly surreal turns lies a deeply human story about failure, loyalty, and the desperate search for meaning in a world where reality itself has become negotiable. Part social media satire, part spiritual quest, part Florida gothic, The Passion of Saint-Jablonski captures both the ridiculous and the sublime as it builds to a wildly inventive climax that questions the very nature of truth in the digital age.

Perfect for readers of Sam Lipsyte, Jennifer Egan, and George Saunders, The Passion of Saint-Jablonski is a bold, big-hearted, and unforgettable journey through the sun-bleached, screen-lit underbelly of contemporary America.
