From Holden Caulfield to Moses Herzog, our best literature has been
narrated by malcontents. To this lineage add Peter Jernigan, who
views the world with ferocious intelligence, grim rapture, and a
chainsaw wit that he turns, with disastrous consequences, on his
wife, his teenaged son, his dangerously vulnerable mistress--and,
not least of all, on himself. This novel is a bravura performance:
a funny, scary, mesmerizing study of a man walking off the edge
with his eyes wide open--wisecracking all the way.
