Description

The "dazzling, exhilarating" ("San Francisco Chronicle") debut novel from one of this century's most groundbreaking writers, "The Broom of the System" is an outlandishly funny and fiercely intelligent exploration of the paradoxes of language, storytelling, and reality.

Reviews

Daring, hilarious... a zany picaresque adventure of contemporary America run amok. ("The New York Times") Wonderful... a cathartic experience with lots of laughs and lots of deeper meanings. ("The Washington Post Book World")
