William Giraldi 
Busy Monsters: A Novel [EPUB ebook] 

“The best literary present . . . has a delicate sweetness that shows through at just the right moments.”—Ron Charles, Washington Post Book World

Echoing a narrative line that includes Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller, William Giraldi’s
Busy Monsters has been hailed as one of the most exciting fiction debuts in years. Penned with a linguistic bravado that explores the diaphanous line between fiction and fact, this “very funny, very inventive début novel” (
The New Yorker) has at last revived the great American picaresque tradition.
