In these stories, the author renders the bizarre normal and the absurd hilarious, from the eerily real , almost holographic evocations of historical figures, to overtelevised game-show hosts and late-night comedians. In the title story, punk nihilism meets Young Republicanism.
- 'This collection of ten tales provides ample proof of his virtuosity for the uninitiated… This is not a writer for the squeamish... but his satirical mastery of speech patterns and his eye for the grotesque can astonish.' DAILY TELEGRAPH
- 'Puncturing the veneer of power lies at the crux of this collection, and attention to detail illuminates the banal. Wallace's control of different voices is superb, given the individual style of each tale.' THE TIMES
