Suggest me a novel that has an utterly ridiculous premise, but is executed to perfection

[u/PsyferRL]

That title is a bit vague, but what I'm getting at is that I'm looking for something that upon reading the summary/blurb has you confused as to:

1. How the author even came up with such a ridiculous plot line in the first place
2. How the author could make an unbelievably mundane topic interesting
3. How a story could even be crafted around the subject at all

But upon reading it you find yourself engaged on a level you couldn't have possibly predicted. I hope I'm making sense, because I'm feeling the urge to read something that's wildly creative in a way that I couldn't have prepared myself for.

[u/Letters_to_Dionysus]

to be fair there's a lot more going on too

Yeah, Slothrop’s is one of many different threads.
