Description

A boy wakes one morning to discover he is sinking into the earth. A detective is hired to find Patty Hearst's alter ego. A postal worker fulfills his occupational clich and attacks Danny DeVito. Drawing from sources as varied as the Bible, Herman Melville, pulp fiction, pornography, and Mark Twain, Obenzinger skillfully braids multiple narrative threads into a lyrically beautiful novel readers will experience as much as read.
