Autumn Angels

Cover's debut novel is a stylistic cross-breed of Ellison and Vonnegut, and as such both predates and bests Douglas Adams in creating a comic, literary fantasy. The story takes place eons in the future, and centers on the misadventures of a trio of godlike men who have taken it upon themselves to liven up the universe by reacquainting superbeings with the concept of depression. Along the way, there are more cultural and historical references than anyone could possibly catch. Autumn Angels is one of the wildest and weirdest books to be printed, once referred as a "rock 'n' roll James Joyce".
