More about the book
F. Scott Fitzgerald meets Wes Anderson (The Village Voice) in this inventive and witty debut about a young man s quest to become a writer and the misadventures in life and love that take him around the globe from the author of Why We Came to the City As early as he can remember, the narrator of this remarkable novel has wanted to become a writer. From the jazz clubs of Manhattan to the villages of Sri Lanka, Kristopher Jansma s hopelessly unreliable yet hopelessly earnest narrator will be haunted by the success of his greatest friend and literary rival, the brilliant Julian McGann, and endlessly enamored with Evelyn, the green-eyed girl who got away. A profound exploration of the nature of truth and storytelling, this delightful picaresque tale heralds Jansma as a bold, new American voice.
