Publisher Notes
In ten jarringly original stories and a prize-winning novella, Rick Moody paints a world of frustration, yearning, lies, decay, and obsession as he introduces a dissonant band of outsiders. "Expressive brilliance . . . written in a brilliant nightmarish style".--Los Angeles Times.
Media Reviews
"...[I]ntense and unnerving...[A] narcotizing tour de force of sex, drugs and dementia."
