Product Details

Praise

“Poetic, disturbing yet very funny … the brilliantly controlled style [is] informed by a powerful spiritual vision.”—The Washington Post Book World

“Joy Williams has produced a hard, sharp, comic novel about the off-kilter genius of adolescence—a work of maverick insight and rash and beautiful bursts of language.”—Don DeLillo

“Fierce, lively, and shocking…. Possesses a tooth and claw beauty as dangerous and brilliant as a cougar on the move.”—The Boston Globe

“An intelligent, unsettling, audacious, virtuosic, improbable novel.”—The New York Times Book Review

“So strange and so good … so frightening and so comic … every single element in it is undomesticated, from the characters to the clauses.”—Voice Literary Supplement
