| Summary: | From the award-winning author of Bubblegum and The Instructions, a daring new novel about the absurdity, the humor, and the tragedy of survivorship. 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. |
