Pierre, D.B.C Vernon God Little
Faber and Faber May 6, 2004 0-571-21516-5 / 9780571215164 Paperback Fine
The surprise winner of the 2003 Man Booker Prize, DBC Pierre's debut novel, Vernon God Little, makes few apologies in its darkly comedic portrait of M artirio, Texas, a town reeling in the aftermath of a horrific school shooti ng. Fifteen-year-old Vernon Little narrates the first-person story with a c ynical twang and a four-letter barb for each of his diet-obsessed townsfolk . His mother, endlessly awaiting the delivery of a new refrigerator, seems to exist only to twist an emotional knife in his back; her friend, Palmyra, structures her life around the next meal at the Bar-B-Chew Barn; officer V aine Gurie has Vernon convicted of the crime before she's begun the investi gation; reporter Eulalio Ledesma hovers between a comforting father-figure and a sadistic Bond villain; and Jesus, his best friend in the world, is de ad--a victim of the killings. As his life explodes before him, Vernon flees his home in pursuit of a tropical fantasy: a cabin on a beach in Mexico he once saw in the movie Against All Odds. But the police--and TV crews--are in hot pursuit.
