The War Against the Assholes is a 2015 science fiction and fantasy novel by author Sam Munson. Munson also penned The November Criminals, the novel whose 2016 film adaptation starred Ansel Elgort and Chloë Grace Moretz.^[1]

Summary

Mike Wood, a mediocre Catholic school student in Manhattan, gets drawn into a war between rival factions of magicians by his enigmatic classmate Hob.

Inspiration

The inspiration behind The War Against the Assholes stems from a vademecum written by the elusive S.W. Erdnase, the infamous author behind The Expert at the Card Table.^[2] While loyal fans have traced the book’s publication to Chicago in 1902, the details behind the story are shrouded in mystery. Furthermore, similar to William Shakespeare,^[3] Erdnase’s identity is heavily debated to this day.^[2]

Reception/Reviews

The Library Journal calls the novel “an imaginative, choppily constructed fantasy/mystery that begins in a Manhattan private school”^[4] while the Barnes & Noble blog says that it’s for “fans of The Magicians, fans of distinctive characters, fans of well-used profanity—there’s a little something for everyone.”^[4] The Maggie Linton Show on Sirius XM says The War Against the Assholes is “A really quirky and unique premise…Very visual, I couldn’t put it down. The unique quirkiness of The War Against the Assholes really captured me.”^[5]
