“Johnson’s gift for pure invention is downright García Márquezian, and Polis is his rambunctious Macondo.”
—Ed Park, author of Same Bed Different Dreams
“Johnson’s unbridled debut runs in circles of accelerating grandiosity and lunacy.”
—Publishers Weekly
An inventive, beautifully written debut that will leave readers wanting more.”—Kirkus, starred review
“A magnetic voice, sly, witty, musical — an Augie March for a new time and a new place.”
—T. C. Boyle
