Description: "A fearless exploration of America's heart of darkness . . . a dizzying high-wire act."-- The Washington Post "LaValle never writes the same book and his recent is a stunner . . . . Fantastical, hellish and hilarious ."-- Los Angeles Times "It's simply too bighearted , too gentle, too kind , too culturally observant and too idiosyncratic to squash into the small cupboard of any one genre, or even two."-- The New York Times Book Review "Embeds a sophisticated critique of contemporary America's inhumane treatment of madness in a fast-paced story that is by turns horrifying, suspenseful, and comic."-- The Boston Globe "LaValle uses the thrills of horror to draw attention to timely matters. And he does so without sucking the joy out of the genre. . . . A striking and original American novelist."-- The New Republic From the Hardcover edition.
