Synopsis
Takes readers on a tour of a brilliantly oddball world, where town hall meetings turn into bloodbaths and God occasionally calls to check in with mortals who are calmly ironing their souls in the kitchen.

Review
“Singular and deeply pleasurable. Chris Kennedy’s prosetry is a lonely anarchic nation-state unto itself, half vacation funspot, half eerie purgatorial layover. There is joy and dread here, in every carefully considered line, and evidence of a brain committed to giving shape to the thoughts we keep in a small box, on the top shelf, of our darkest, dankest closet.” —Dave Eggers, author, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
“A haunting, complex, and very beautiful book. Kennedy has a deep understanding of American longing and the inevitable losses associated with that longing and, because he is a powerful artist, is able to make from that loss a wonderful victory: this moving portrait of the human heart examining itself.” —George Saunders, author, CivilWarLand in Bad Decline
