Well, I tried it, but this is just too grimy for me.
I would be willing to grant the protagonist being an abrasive dumb-nut because he's supposed to be depressed out of his mind, but the author's gaze is also pretty offensive... This dark mood of this comes off as feeling more like a depressed person's morbid fantasy to me more than it feels like anything profound.
I was expecting something... I don't know, in some way, nicer, given the whimsical title.
