Handbook for Visitors from Outer Space

A sharply fresh vision of our time conveyed through the experiences of a boy filled with classic yearnings for family wholeness and national honesty, on a quest to uncover his elders' secrets. Beginning with a mysterious, unlocatable, war and concluding with a battle on the New Jersey Turnpike, this is a mad fairy tale that unexpectedly turns out to be true by such an engaging storyteller that we willingly submit, believing the impossible. A combination of inspired tenderness and brilliant technique & it reads as if it were written by a very witty angel.
