Synopsis
First published by Random House in 1968, Russell H. Greenan s It Happened in Boston? is the story of a brilliantly talented, unbalanced artist who strives to meet God face-to-face in order to destroy Him. It is a magic spell of a book phantasmagoric, lushly written, full of unforgettable characters and brilliant twists of plot, writes Jonathan Lethem in his Introduction. With a vivid depiction of the art world and a breathtaking narrative that incorporates forgery, time travel, and murder, Greenan s hilarious and disturbing debut novel now an underground cult classic is ripe for rediscovery.
