About this listen

 'This house is freaking me out. It's bad for me. But I'm finishing this.'

Discovering Kanye West is endorsing Adolf Hitler, John Safran heads to America to find out what's up. Kanye proves elusive, one thing leads to another, and John packs his duffle bags and moves in, squatting at one of Kanye's mansions in the rolling hills of Los Angeles.

Will the neighbours get wise and snitch to the cops? Are the creatures in the woods behind the mansion a worry? More paranoid each day, John becomes convinced the house itself is turning against him.

Alone with his thoughts in Kanye's haunt, John finds himself asking where he fits into the world as a Jew. Dangerous and hilarious, Squat is for anyone who's been told they don't belong. Cultural & Regional Racism & Discrimination Social Sciences Funny Witty Thought-Provoking

I always like John's books and storytelling. Even being an anti-theist who finds Kanye to be a low talent narcissist, I was hooked on where this was going and ended up.

Another good one from Saffran

I love listening to John as I feel that I am on journey in his head. Who would think to do what he did but it was entertaining and hilarious. Well done.

John is infectious

I usually read Johns books with his voice in my head, so it was only natural to get the audio book this time around. I was not disappointed, his distinct squeaking brought life to this tale of bumbling along trying to find Kanye, or Ye, or whoever he could find. The only downside is that it’s not as good as In Cold Blood.

Bumbling at its best

In typical Safran fashion, what seems like an offbeat prank turns into something far more profound. A unique read. John’s narration elevates the dry humor.

John’s biting wit strikes again
