Unlikable characters always make for more interesting discussion! Having some understanding of present day USA social mores helps lift the satirical aspects.

  "Review of To Rise Again at a Decent Hour by Balcones Book Club" by PeggySue64 (see profile) 06/23/20

Main character conflicted in all aspects of his life while searching for his identity and place in the world. Some did find nuggets of inspiration--just like visit to dentist, can be painful but rewarding.
