Book Synopsis

"A ferociously inventive comic novel" (Vanity Fair) from the prize-winning author of Let the Dog Drive and Big Bang.
The trade paperback edition of David Bowman's prize-winning first novel, Let the Dog Drive, has developed a cult following. Now Bowman's exuberantly praised second novel -- a hard-boiled comedy about love, abduction, and child care, set in a future where electricity has disappeared and fertility is on the wane, but human passions are as messy as ever -- is also in trade paperback.
