A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Named as one of the 100 Best Things in the World by GQ magazine in 2003, the riotous adventures of Vernon Gregory Little in small town Texas and beachfront Mexico mark one of the most spectacular, irreverent and bizarre debuts of the twenty-first century so far. Its depiction of innocence and simple humanity (all seasoned with a dash of dysfunctional profanity) in an evil world is never less than astonishing. The only novel to be set in the barbecue sauce capital of Central Texas, Vernon God Little suggests that desperate times throw up the most unlikely of heroes.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Paperback edition of DBC Pierre's brilliant Booker Prize-winning satirical novel. This universally acclaimed study of American values - set in Texas in the aftermath of a high school massacre - constantly darts between the uproariously funny and the crushingly touching to tell a riotous and wholly compelling tale. Revelations about Pierre's own life have increased interest in his work significantly since he received the Booker last October. Major marketing spend. "A brilliant comic creation" }The Guardian
