Richard Chiem's King of Joy (Soft Skull Press) is a novel about porn, weed and good dogs that's also a Lynch-ian vaporwave nightmare *and* a raw, intense story of grief and perseverance. You know, based on that description, that I 'had to do it to 'em' (interview Richard on his life, influences and writing process.)
