Lars and W., the two preposterous philosophical anti-heroes of Spurious and Dogma called Uproarious by the New York Times Book Review return and face a political, intellectual, and economic landscape in a state of total ruination. With philosophy professors being moved to badminton departments and gin in short supply although not short enoughthe two hapless intellectuals embark on a relentless mission. Well, several relentless missions. For one, they must help gear a guerilla philosophy movement conducted outside the academy, perhaps under bridges that will save the study of philosophy after the long intellectual desert known as the early 21st-century. For another, they must save themselves, perhaps by learning to play badminton after all. Gin isnt free, you know.
