A whip-smart, funny, and smart-ass novel wrapped up in a form-breaking package. Visual Editions, one of my favorite publishing houses, has finally done a book that's actually a STORY and they've managed to shatter your preconceptions of the novelistic form yet again. It's not going to be for everyone, oh no, but for those of you who are at least a bit politically minded and for those of you who like stylistic exuberance, check this thing out. It's well worth your time, I promise.

Lots more about the book and the form and how awesome it all is at RB: http://wp.me/sGVzJ-kapow
