Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
From the award-winning author of Bubblegum and The Instructions , a daring new novel about the irony, the humor, and the heartbreak of survivorship.
"Adam Levin is one of our wildest writers and our funniest." -George Saunders, bestselling, award-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo
A one-in-ten-billion natural disaster devastates Chicago. A Jewish comedian, his most devoted fan, and the city's mayor must struggle to move forward while the world--quite literally--caves beneath their feet. With this polyphonic tale of Chicago-style politics and political correctness, stand-up comedy and Jewish identity, celebrity, drugs, and animal psychology, Levin has constructed a monument to laughter, love, art, and resilience in an age of spectacular loss.
