Having accidentally inspired the local suburbanites to draw and quarter the town’s blood-thirsty Mayor, Pete Robinson – civic-minded schoolteacher and enthusiastic historian of the Medieval Inquisition – embarks on a tenuous election campaign. But his sleepy town has entered a period of crisis; the local park is littered with landmines, the neighbours are building deadly moats around their homes, and his beautiful wife, Meredith, has discovered dark and powerful talents within herself, which threaten to transfigure their once serene lives forever. In amongst this chaos, can Mr Robinson satisfy the terrible will of the people? By turns funny and phantasmagorical, fiercely intelligent and imaginative, Donald Antrim’s first novel of suburban civics turned macabre is a new American classic.
