In tribute to the surrealist narrative techniques of andré breton and robert desnos, minor episodes documents the serial adventures of minor, the ubiquitous "everymogul" who embodies the economic 1% and keeps musically erotic quixotics on tap. having entered a "rent in time" that gives each chapter an alternate reality, minor swaggers through an undersea casino, in-flight blockbuster, bawdy western, and kafkaesque job hunt, cavorting with billboard queen bébé lala and country-music legend faith faith, when not dressing down his shifty sidekick, the concierge, or haunting the intensely disinterested songstress miss sharp. however, danger looms in the form of the stropper, a serial killer fresh out of a shaving promotion, and an enigmatic ginger-beer icon who has retired from a satisfying life of culinary assassinations. major ruckus, contrapuntal text and parody of the speculative fiction genre, celebrates the stylistic techniques of william s. burroughs and robert anton wilson, following a frenzied struggle by various parties to obtain an essential time-travel component, a struggle that includes psychic "dicks," universal call-centre operators, aboriginal eroticists, lubricant heiresses, rogue advertisement animations, pornography censors, and alien sperm-bank clones, all to the horrified fascination of hapless meta-writer oober mann. but ultimately, it is carl sagan who creates the most confusion, when his prudish doodle of a woman is sent into space via the voyager probe, triggering a plan to "assist" the earth's declining population through extraterrestrials in the guise of census takers. minor episodes and major ruckus introduce the chaos! quincunx series.
