In landlocked Gainesville, Florida, in the hot, fraught summer
of 1999, a college dropout named David sleepwalks through his
life--a dull haze of office work and Internet porn--until a run-in
with a lost friend jolts him from his torpor. He is drawn into the
vibrant but grimy world of Fishgut, a rundown house where a loose
collective of anarchists, burnouts, and libertines practice utopia
outside society and the law. Some even see their lifestyle as a
spiritual calling. They watch for the return of a mysterious hobo
who will--they hope--transform their punk oasis into the Bethlehem
of a zealous, strange new creed.
In his dark and mesmerizing debut novel, Justin Taylor ("a
master of the modern snapshot"--Los Angeles Times) explores the
borders between religion and politics, faith and fanaticism, desire
and need--and what happens when those borders are breached.
