Status Updates From Not to Mention Camels

Just found this book at a cute little used bookstore in downtown Asheville. I’ve never read any Lafferty but I’m big into sci-fi so here we are (just now reading that I shouldn’t start here but I already have; so it goes!). With that said - What even is this book? I’m amused but also confused, I’m 100 pages in and I only have a slight grasp at what’s going on. So far, big fan.
