Paperback edition of DBC Pierre's brilliant Booker Prize-winning satirical novel. This universally acclaimed study of American values - set in Texas in the aftermath of a high school massacre - constantly darts between the uproariously funny and the crushingly touching to tell a riotous and wholly compelling tale. Revelations about Pierre's own life have increased interest in his work significantly since he received the Booker last October. Major marketing spend.
