Description:

Startlingly radical, dazzlingly witty, unlike anything that has come before - this is the most exciting debut novel published this year. 'Nell Zink is a writer of extraordinary talent and range. Her work insistently raises the possibility that the world is larger and stranger than the world you think you know.' Jonathan Franzen Virginia, 1966.
