Summary:

From award-winning novelist Patrick Somerville comes this genre-busting novel-in-stories that leaps between small-town suburbs and the outer reaches of outer-space. A cast of outcasts-including the world's angriest mercenary, a sad surrealist, and a messianic alcoholic lawyer-bind together in this surprisingly warm exploration of love and identity in the post-millennial world.
