Vernon God Little: A 21st Century Comedy in the Presence of Death

Regular price ₱490.05
Unit price

Compare to estimated retail price: ₱692.10 PHP  

Dark comedy exposing America's societal dysfunctions.

If you appreciate satire that balances darkness with wittiness, "Vernon God Little" is a must-read. You'll be thrust into the chaos of Vernon's world, where the everyday absurdity of American life is magnified through a tragic and comically twisted lens. DBC Pierre masterfully crafts a narrative that's as entertaining as it is sharp—a commentary on the media, justice, and identity in the face of adversity.

Description

An alternative cover edition for this ISBN 9780571215164 can be found here. 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.
