His writing perfectly captures the bizarre parade that is Chicago, with all its gloriously odd and wonderful people. This book possesses both the nerve of Nelson Algren and the existential comedy of Albert Camus." - Joe Meno Read more ## Images ![Rontel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lX5DKdHsL.jpg) ![Rontel - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LZ+15himL.jpg) ![Rontel - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31C6ESmR5ZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More gritty isolationist urban slice of life commentary? Yes please! *by J***Y on June 27, 2019* "Rontel" by Sam Pink may be one of my favorite books by him. More gritty isolationist urban slice of life commentary? Yes please! I don't know how he does it, but Sam Pink makes mundane everyday life interesting. His thought process reminds me of my own and never thought I'd "meet" another person who approaches life like I do. Thanks for making me feel average, Sam Pink, or at the very least, duplicated.Sniff Test: "Rontel" smells like a unkempt litter box in a tiny, hot apartment that is dirty and has never actually been cleaned aside from the occasional "picking up." I know this place because I've been there too. So it smells like familiarity and vulnerability. 5/5. Amazing per usual, Mr. Pink. Must read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So funny *by T***N on February 11, 2013* I earnestly thought "this is the funniest book I have ever read" or "Rontel is the funniest book I have ever read" probably ~200x while and after reading Rontel. I said "~300x" somewhere else but ~200x seems more accurate. (I should say that I don't feel, or haven't felt, amused by, for example, Saturday Night Live, which to me has never seemed funny.) I didn't feel that Rontel (which seemed, to me, hilarious and "delightful" and moving) was distracting me with humor, or anything, from things like death and confusion. I felt like it was successfully teaching me a sustainable, non-faith-based, stimulating, considerate way to live with those things.Rontel affected my actions IRL to a degree that books, for me, rarely do. I viewed things differently for considerable amounts of time after reading Rontel and was, I think, more patient and considerate and less frustrated and paranoid. I was better able to view "problems"/[anything] as humorous and other people, like Schopenhauer recommended, as "fellow sufferers" and myself, in a calming manner, as insignificant. I honestly think that, in a clinical study, "reading Rontel 30-minutes/day" could be shown to be as effective, or much more effective (and cheaper, with less negative side-effects), for certain people, as [whatever methods are currently being used] for the treatment of depression or anger. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another short tale of every day life *by D***N on January 3, 2014* I've read quite a few books by Sam Pink and they basically all have the same structure; a guy who works a stupid job, lives a life in a cold town and thinks about a long of different random things. There's no beginning or end, no true conflict and it's all extremely real. If you can relate to it than you'll get good laughs. His style is minimalist, quirky, manic very alternative. You won't find this on your Barnes & Noble top sellers and chances are your friend that shows off his unique taste in Chuck Palahniuk books would find even this sort of fiction to be absurd - which baffles me, because it's not absurd.. It's the basis of many people's lives.I read No Hello's Diet, Person and Rontel back to back to back while working two minimum wage Pizza jobs and these pieces were sort of a form of religious scripture for me. It does tell the nihilistic living where nothing truly happens and how extremely boring life is. The glowing neon lights show more importance than the significance of using your friends car to go buy hangers.If you're a young adult lost in a freezing alien world you may find this comforting. These books are short and quick to read. I can swallow them up in just a few hours. There is something strangely poetic about Sam Pink - I think that shows there's a poet in all of us and in every moment of our useless daily routines.4/5 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/17477038-rontel](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/17477038-rontel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
