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 deacute;buts of the 21st 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. 'A showpiece of superb comic writing . . . Out of the detritus of a morally bankrupt society, Pierre has fashioned a work of comic art.' Sunday Telegraph 'In a just world, this ridiculously funny first novel would come free with every television set . . . Not since reading John Kennedy O'Toole's masterpiece, A Confederacy of Dunces . . . have I laughed so much or felt such sheer delight at the discovery of a wholly fresh comic voice . . . this novel reads like a modern day fairytale.'

Komedija 21. stoljeća u nazočnosti smrti. Buntovničke pustolovine Vernona Gregoryja Littlea u malom teksaškom gradiću i duž meksičke obale obilježavaju jedan od dosad najspektakularnijih, najjetkijih i najbizarnijih debija 21. stoljeća. Jedini roman čija se radnja zbiva u prijestolnici umaka za pečenje središnjeg Teksasa, Vernon Bog Little govori o očajničkim vremenima koja su iznjedrila junaka koji to ni po čemu ne bi trebao biti.
