softcover, 6" x 9" 278 pages SIGNED BY AUTHOR on title page. Vernon God Little's depiction of innocence and simple humanity in an evil world is never less than astonishing. Peopled by a cast of grotesques, freaks, cold-blooded chattering housewives (who are all, mysteriously, recently wodowed), and one very special adolescent with an unfortunate talent for being in the wrong place at the right time, this book is a riotous adventure story which cuts a satirical swathe through the heart of contemporary America. "Read Vernon God Little for the coruscating wit and raw vitality of its voice, which recalls maybe Flannery O'Connor on an overdose of amphetamines and cable television," - Jonathon Letham.
