Book summary

In this black comedy by an Australian, set in Texas, Vernon, a poor-white 15-year-old, is accused of perpetrating the high-school massacre that was actually the work of his friend, Jesus, who dies in the process. Panicked, Vernon takes off, becomes a media star, is captured, tried for the crime, and sentenced to death. But his small Texas town benefits from the media circus, becoming for the first time in years economically self-sufficient. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.

Media reviews

"Pierre is good at delineating the petty rivalries and preoccupations of Vernon's mother and her friends....But the real triumph lies in Pierre's creation of Vernon, a mouthpiece for today's disaffected teenagers....[I]n his credible articulation of Vernon's existential angst Pierre has created an invigorating heir to Holden Caulfield."
