* Earth is the mental asylum of the universe and humans are the
incurable inmates. .Now the asylum is being shut down. Everyone
Says That at the End of the World traces the adventures of a
ghost-haunted slacker couple expecting their first child, an
outrageously arrogant television actor seeking redemption and a
prophetic hermit crab on a cross-country quest as they struggle to
survive the final four days of life on Earth. Inter-dimensional
time travelers, Jesus clones, and prosthetic limbs all play a role
in the catastrophic events leading to the planet's end.
The Book of Harold is as profound and deeply respectful a novel as
it is irreverent in its wild, often hilarious take on a modern
messianic movement in suburbia. The titular and sometimes
exasperating hero of this masterful satire is Harold Peeks, a
middle-aged suburbanite living a lonely if typical modern life in
the outskirts of Houston, Texas. His world feels bland and
pointless until one evening at a mundane office party he announces
to his stunned co-workers that he is the Second Coming of Christ.
Oddly enough, people start to believe him.
