Paperback edition of the Man Booker Prize winning novel for fans of Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph
Heller. Born in Dickens in the outskirts of LA the narrator spends his childhood as the
subject in his father's racially charged psychological studies. But after his father dies all
he's left with is the bill for the funeral and the news that Dickens has been wiped off the
map. He sets out to right this wrong with the most outrageous action conceivable: by
reinstating slavery and segregation. *Also appeared in May Buyer's Notes*
