- Summary:
- Jarleth Pendergast in an ex-pat Irishman, an aging punk rocker, a film snob, a copy-shop employee, and a desperate man whose career as an avant-garde claymation artist is going nowhere. Notified about a possible inheritance at the beginning of the book, Jarleth enters on a course of rampant self-destruction, narrating all his adventures to a deceased Irish lawyer. "One of the funniest books I've read in the past several years," according to Harvey Pekar, this first novel is a mad, sad, and profoundly funny book.
