Description

Everything’s Misplaced, Including This Title is a surreal and whimsical plunge into the beautifully absurd. In this debut absurdist novel, Ponung Tayeng weaves a narrative where logic bends, reality blurs, and meaning hides in unexpected places. A brain stolen by jesters. A cat without ears. A donkey that insists it’s not a donkey. Through strange encounters and poetic fragments, the narrator navigates the chaos of thought, identity, and memory—one misplaced thing at a time.

Tayeng’s writing is playful yet profound, inviting readers to question what it means to be whole in a world that constantly shifts. This novel doesn’t follow the rules of storytelling—it dreams, stumbles, laughs, and unravels, all while making you feel like perhaps the confusion was the point all along.

For readers who enjoy absurdist fiction, surreal journeys, and narratives that dance between the nonsensical and the deeply true, this is a book that will stay with you—misplaced, but unforgettable.
