Description
"Anthony's compulsively readable debut novel stars Rovar Pfliegman, who sells meat out of a bus in Virginia. Rovar is a peculiar, troll-like man: he is short and hairy, has not spoken since childhood, keeps a pet beetle and lives in the same broken-down bus that houses his meat business. But perhaps the most remarkable thing about Rovar is his precarious singularity. He is the last of the Pfliegmans and, by his own account, he is falling apart. ...the narrative nods to all sorts of greats -- Kafka, Rushdie, Darwin and Grass, to name a few. But Anthony's style -- funny, immediate and unapologetically cerebral -- carves out a space all its own," said Publishers Weekly.
